SELMA – A tractor trailer attempting to turn from Baugh Road onto Buffalo Road in Selma was struck by a small Honda, just after 12 noon Friday.
The car became pinned under the loaded truck, blocking both lanes of Buffalo Road, near the Highway 70 intersection. The 71-year old driver of the car was transported to an area hospital to be checked out.
“This may do it for me—it may be time to get off the road and enjoy life,” said the Florida based truck driver. “This is my first accident in 43 years of driving tractor trailers,” he added,
Selma Fire, Johnston County EMS and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol responded to the incident.
That small Honda was no match for the semi. The photos look terrible. I pray all involved are ok including the truck driver who was also affected.
