A crash in Johnston County on Friday night injured one person and caused power outages affecting over 700 customers.
Around 10 p.m., a car collided with a power pole near the Johnston County Airport on US-70 Business. The driver, a 52-year-old woman, was trapped but later reported to first responders that she couldn’t recall the moments leading up to the accident and might have lost consciousness.
She was transported to WakeMed with multiple fractures. All four lanes of the road were closed for approximately two hours, with traffic resuming around midnight. Power was restored to all residents by 5 a.m. the next day.
