Thursday afternoon rain came with little warning in some parts of Bladen County. The rain along with speed was a factor in a single vehicle wreck involving a FedEx truck according to Highway Patrol officer Jason Weissinger.
According to the trooper’s report FedEx driver, Raymond Thomas from Pembroke was traveling south on NC Hwy 131 and crossed the centerline, ran out of road to the left and struck a ditch causing the delivery truck to overturn.
Thomas was charged with exceeding a safe speed due to rain, according to Weissinger. No injuries were reported.
The truck did have packages on board. As our staff was leaving more FedEx truck drivers were on site to help collect packages from the wrecked vehicle.
