GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WNCN) — Two people were airlifted among nearly a dozen injured during a major crash in east Goldsboro early Saturday afternoon, officials said. The crash involving at least five vehicles was reported just after 12:45 p.m. on US 70 eastbound at North Oak Forest Road, according to Wayne County officials. According to video clips from the scene, a tractor-trailer appeared to plow into several eastbound cars that were stopped at a traffic signal near Deacon Jones Ford. US 70 eastbound lanes were closed at N. Oak Forest Road, with the left lane reopening around 5:45 p.m. and the scene clear by 7:30 p.m., according to the NCDOT.
