Two separate wrecks snarl traffic

Two separate wrecks snarled traffic in and around Jacksonville this morning.

The first happened about 8 a.m. when a SUV heading east crossed all four lanes of N.C. 24 and flipped into a ditch, said Norman Bryson, interim emergency manager for Onslow County.

The driver - who has not been identified - was transported to Naval Hospital and airlifted to Pitt Memorial Hospital, according to firefighters on the scene.

Traffic was detoured for about an hour.

In the other wreck, a vehicle struck a utility pole on Country Club Road near Piney Green at around 9:45 a.m. No one was seriously injured, said Lt. Pat Traitor of the Jacksonville Police Department.

A crew is on the scene repairing the damaged pole and roads are expected to be clear by 11:30 a.m., according to the N.C. Department of Transportation.
