Road conditions are improving across Johnston County but slick spots still remain on some secondary roadways, particularly in shaded areas.
On Friday, a car skidded on ice on Vinson Road just outside of Clayton and struck a home. No injuries were reported.
Thursday, a patch of ice on Interstate 95 near Keen Road in Four Oaks caused a crash that shutdown northbound lanes for an hour. A semi skidded on the ice and stopped on the right shoulder. A moving truck and tanker were side-by-side when they made contact while avoiding the first truck. Both trucks jack-knifed. There were no injuries. I-95 was reopened after the NC DOT brought sand, salt and brine to the area then used a plow to scrape the ice off the interstate.
