SMITHFIELD – One driver was transported to an area hospital following a Monday afternoon traffic accident on M. Durwood Stephenson Parkway in front of Smithfield Selma High School. A SSS student was a passenger in one vehicle but not injured.
The accident occurred just as SSS and nearby Neuse Charter School were dismissing for the day and many parents were trying to pick up their children.
Smithfield Police investigated the accident and, as much as possible, kept the heavy traffic flowing around the accident location.
