KENLY – Two cars collided at the intersection of Antioch Church Road and Flower Hill Road in northern Johnston County, Monday afternoon.
According to authorities, one car failed to yield at the two-way stop intersection, injuring 6 people. One victim was transported to Wake Medical Center with potentially serious injuries. Five others were treated for minor injuries.
