Godwin, N.C. — A mother and child were thrown from a truck Saturday afternoon during a wreck in Sampson County.
According to the state Highway Patrol, Joel Santiago, 21, ran a stop sign and crashed into a car on Autry Mill Road, east of Interstate 95.
Santiago’s passengers, Michelle Wolfe, 30, and her 3-year-old son, Connor, were ejected from the vehicle, troopers said.
Paramedics transported Santiago, Wolfe and her child to Cape Fear Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Santiago was charged with running a stop sign, driving without a license, not restraining a child and having an open alcoholic container, troopers said.
