Selma Police Looking For Vehicle Connected To Motorcycle Wreck

SELMA, N.C. — Police are searching for a driver involved in a reckless driving incident that led to a motorcycle crash Saturday evening in Selma. The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Ricks Road.

Selma Police said a motorcyclist was traveling behind a passenger vehicle when the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes for no apparent reason.

To avoid colliding with the back of the vehicle, the motorcyclist swerved off the roadway to the right, striking a curb before running into the grass. The rider lost control and was then thrown about 15 feet from the motorcycle, landing in the dirt.

The motorcyclist was evaluated at the scene by Johnston County EMS but declined to be transported to a hospital.

Police said the driver of the vehicle did not stop after the crash and left the area.

Officers are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses in an attempt to identify the vehicle and driver involved.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Selma Police Department.
