JOHNSTON COUNTY – Two vehicles collided at the intersection of NC 96 North and Covered Bridge Road Saturday afternoon, sending all three occupants to area hospitals.

The Corinth Holders Fire Department quickly responded to the crash and found a man trapped in his overturned pickup truck.

Airbags deployed in the small, northbound passenger car, but the driver and passenger suffered only non-life-threatening injuries despite the sudden impact.

A witness described the crash, saying he saw the van “in the air” as it traveled off the road and overturned. The car spun after hitting the truck.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol investigated the incident.
