Interstate 40 in Johnston County is open again after a deadly crash shut down eastbound lanes for more than two hours Wednesday morning. Authorities say the three-vehicle collision happened near mile marker 313 in the Cleveland community just before 9am. Investigators report a car in the middle lane and another in the middle right lane collided, sending both vehicles into a white Cadillac in the far right lane. The Cadillac then crossed all lanes and struck the median barrier. The driver, Ashley McNair, died at the scene. The other drivers were hospitalized, and charges are pending as the investigation continues.
