Car Chase In Johnston County
Two people are in custody after a car chase through Johnston County ended with a crash on U.S. Route 70. Deputies noticed a stolen vehicle from Goldsboro in Selma and attempted to stop it. The car sped away, eventually crashing into a tanker truck on Wilsons Mills Road. Both suspects, a 21-year-old and a juvenile, fled on foot but were quickly apprehended. They sustained minor injuries and are expected to recover. The driver of the tanker truck was unharmed, and despite carrying 12,000 gallons of diesel fuel, the truck did not leak. The investigation continues.
