Driver Escaped Injury After Semi Flips

Surprisingly no one was hurt after an 18-wheeler, carrying salvaged cars, flipped and ended up in a Johnston County resident’s yard Wednesday just outside Angier on N.C. 210. The driver of the twisted cargo, who was sipping on a can of Pepsi under a shade tree, was amazingly unharmed. He did not want to make a comment. The truck is owned by Young’s Auto Salvage out of Benson. The 50/210 Fire Department responded to the call. Assistant Chief Andy Penny reported there appeared to only be one vehicle involved with no injuries. Members of the fire department directed traffic on Highway 210, which was reduced to just one lane of travel until the wreckage was cleared. Photo by Wendy Spears/The Daily Record
