I don't know if it's related, but shortly after that, I-40 East was backed up heading towards McGee's Crossroads. Might have been an accident down that way.
there was an accident on I 40 East about 1/4 mile from the Cleveland School Rd Crossing over I 40....I was out doing job searches at that time and nearly got hit by a car trying to get out of the way of the Fire truck.... Didn't see clearly what happened, but they had both lanes shut down for a short while....
sounds like this was it? I-40 Accident Injures Four Children Traffic was backed up for several miles on I-40 near Highway 42 Tuesday afternoon after an eastbound Isuzu SUV ran off the interstate, traveled down an embankment and struck a group of trees. A female driver and four children in the SUV were transported by 50-210 and Wake County EMS crews to WakeMed for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The accident, near the 313 mile marker, backed up traffic several miles into Wake County. The NC Highway Patrol and Cleveland Fire Department also responded to the scene. http://www.wtsbradio.com/
