High-Speed Chase Ends In Rollover Crash
JOHNSTON COUNTY, N.C. — A 25-year-old man is in custody following a high-speed pursuit that ended in a rollover crash Monday evening in Johnston County.
The incident began around 7:25 p.m. near the Interstate 95 – Interstate 40 interchange in Benson, when a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper attempted to stop the driver of a black Chrysler passenger car for speeding. According to authorities, the driver failed to yield and accelerated, initiating a pursuit.
The chase continued northbound on I-95 to Keen Road (Exit 87) in Four Oaks, where the suspect exited and traveled east. While approaching a curve just before U.S. 701, the driver lost control of the vehicle, ran off the roadway, and overturned multiple times in a farm field.
Troopers, assisted by Johnston County Sheriff’s Office deputies, took the driver into custody at the scene. The suspect, identified as a Wilmington, N.C. man, was evaluated by Johnston County EMS before being transported to the Johnston County Detention Center to face a long list of charges.
The Four Oaks Fire Department responded to assist with traffic control.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash, and no injuries were reported.

Just cause they bought it doesn’t mean they could drive it.
how does any 25 year old afford a high powered car? reports are many of young people driving those chargers that are very expensive. maybe i am out of touch with salaries and employment of that age group…
perhaps dealing with narcotics? just a thought.
Well, there’s always the obvious….
He did’nt buy it ! Mommy and Daddy did. If he did buy it, then hes living with Mommy and Daddy rent free . Time to push that birdie out from the nest! and grow up!
