Tractor trailer crashed on US North outside of Clarkton on Thursday morning, resulting in the road being reduced to one lane for several hours and slowing the morning commute to work. The crash ocurred at 4:36 a.m. and no one was injured.
Markus Cody Cain of Harrells was driving the truck with a chip trailer north on US 701 when he
ran off road to the right. The truck struck a ditch then a concrete culvert and several trees before coming to rest in the ditch.
North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper Weissinger said, “He said a deer ran out in front of him.”
Cain will be charged with failure to maintain lane control, according to Trooper Weissinger.
