Johnston County Crash
Angier, N.C. — Authorities are searching for a suspect after a collision involving a tractor-trailer killed two people at a Johnston County intersection early Sunday evening.

According to Highway Patrol officials, the 18-wheeler collided with a Ford Contour at Highway 210 and Plainview Church Road and overturned. Two people inside the tractor-trailer were killed, Highway Patrol officials said.

Investigators and search dogs were searching for a male driver of the Contour who allegedly fled the scene.

Two other people inside the car were not injured. One of those passengers will face charges for allowing an unauthorized driver to drive their vehicle, Highway Patrol officials said.

Yes, the town of Angier is in Harnett County but the stretch of road that this accident happened on is in Johnston County. There are many places in that area that have an Angier address but are actually in Johnston County.

Drinking and driving is not a mistake. It is a choice! I don't care what color you are, where you were born, your level of education or your sexual orientation. When you CHOOSE to drink and drive, you put every person on the road at risk. You are a menace to society. If, when you choose to drive drunk, you do so w/no license or insurance, not only are you endangering everyone, but you leave anyone you have harmed w/o any recourse to attend to medical needs or financial loss! These people, whether they are white, black, brown, yellow, orange, purple, striped, polka-dotted, law officer, president, vice-president or clergy man, deserve no less than to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Now we just have to push our lawmakers to make that punishment more harsh!!!

Does anyone know how to become legal? MONEY. Say what you wish...all of these comments make it sound like you think only "illegals" are ruining NC. Take a look around at the other illegal crimes going on. I must point out that it's not just the "mexicans" commiting the crimes. Black, white, or other, it doesn't matter.
