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.

  1. No doubt that they’ll find the person of interest with help from their unconstitutional array of FLOCK AI surveillance cameras that they have posted at every road leading in and out of Selma. Those cameras and sensors do much more than read license plates. But hey; If you have nothing to hide you shouldn’t be worried about them. Right?😆 Freedom or security 🤔

    • I openly embrace the ever-watchful eye of the glorious Flock AI cameras. All good citizens have nothing to hide and should openly embrace personal transparency toward the government. They are only seeking to better protect us from ourselves, after all.

    • How is it unconstitutional. They are just cameras. They read license plates and return data pertaining to the plate. Which is all public information. The question is “What do you have to hide”?

      • They literally create a profile for your car and track your movements across the country. The data is collected by a private corporation. Your profile is sold to data brokers.

  2. Motorcycle was following too close. I mean if a car rear ended another car, like happens because people don’t use their turning signals all the time, it’s always the car behind the car that stops unexpectedly that is at fault, irregardless. No difference in this case.

    • I agree. But I do think I would have stopped if I knew he had crash because i suddenly stopped just to see if he was okay. Not because I thought I was at fault.
