FOUR OAKS, N.C. — A big rig driver on his first trip fell asleep at the wheel, crashing the tractor-trailer into a tree alongside Interstate 95 and prompting authorities to shut down one southbound lane of the freeway for several hours Saturday, officials said.
As of 2 p.m. Saturday, State Highway Patrol troopers told WRAL News that the lane would remain closed for up to three more hours while they worked to clear away the wrecked truck, which was said to be a 2019 tractor-trailer that was recently put into service.
