Trucks stuck on I-40 in Johnston County, causing closure
THOSE SECONDARY ROADS AND
NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS, A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIFFERENT
STORY. SURE. ALL RIGHT. THANK
YOU, BRIAN. SO ACROSS WAKE AND
JOHNSTON COUNTIES ARE BREAKING
NEWS TRACKER FOUND DRIVERS
STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT THROUGH
THE ICY PATCHES. AT ONE POINT
ON I-40, IT WAS SHUT DOWN WITH
SEVERAL TRUCKS THAT GOT STUCK
HERE. AS YOU SEE WITH ANOTHER
NIGHT OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES
AS BRIAN WAS JUST DESCRIBING,
WE COULD SEE A REPEAT TOMORROW
MORNING WRAL'S CHELSEA DONOVAN
TAKES US ON A TOUR OF TROUBLE
SPOTS.
>> IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
DARK, I SEE ROADS WHERE THE
TREND ACROSS WAKE AND JOHNSTON
COUNTIES.
ALONE CLOWER OUT IN A RALEIGH
SHOPPING CENTER.
A BEAUTIFUL PINK SKY. A WELCOME
SIGHT AFTER A SNOWY ICY DAY
ACROSS THE TRIANGLE AND BEYOND.
>> HOWEVER, THE ROADWAYS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY PROVE
TREACHEROUS. MAJOR INTERSTATES
LIKE 40 AND BEYOND ICED OVER
AND A MESS FOR DRIVERS
>> I JUST SAID LIKE CRASHED
MINUTES UP THE ROAD. SHE
ANOTHER SAT STILL FOR OVER AN
HOUR ON I-40 AT MCGEE'S
CROSSROADS AFTER A TRACTOR
TRAILER CRASHED TAKING UP ALL
EASTBOUND LANES OF TRAFFIC.
WE JUST KEPT GOING FOR IT AND
EVENTUALLY JUST CAME TO A
COMPLETE STANDSTILL.
NOT JUST THE BUSY INTERSTATE
PROVING TO BE DICEY, BUT HERE
ON HIGHWAY 50.
>> CARS TRYING TO GO UP AND
DOWN THIS HILL SWERVING AND
SPINNING ALL BLANKETED SHEET
OF ICE NEAR HIGHWAY. 42 IN WAKE
COUNTY, A CAR SPUN OUT AS WELL
LANDING ON ITS SIDE IN THE LAWN
OF SOMEONE'S HOME. WE ENDED
OUR DJ-ING THE BRIGHT SIDE OF
WINTER STORM. 3 SLIDERS AND
FAMILIES TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THE SNOW. THIS REALLY NICE.
SO WE FINALLY GOT A LITTLE BIT
THE PACK AND ACTUALLY COME OUT.
DO SOME GOOD SADIO MORE FINALLY
GOT A CHANCE TO GET IN A GOOD
RIDE AT GARTNER CENTENNIAL
PARK.
>> SHE'S RIGHT IN FOR WHAT TO
2 YEARS DOWN. THE GUYS LEAD IN
THE FINAL YET TO GET MILLION.
