A driver is lucky to be alive after his truck crashed off a U.S. 17 bridge, and fell 50 feet onto the road below. It happened around 9:00 a.m. just outside of New Bern. The Highway Patrol says the flatbed truck was heading north on the U.S. 17 bridge when the driver lost control and crashed through the side of the bridge. The truck landed rear-end first onto Howell Road. The driver was taken to ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville with a head injury, but it did not appear life-threatening. The crash tore a 10-foot wide hole in the side of the bridge. |
