WILSON COUNTY, N.C. (WRAL) – A tractor-trailer driver was arrested Wednesday night after state troopers said he caused a deadly crash in Wilson County, just past the Johnston County line.

The crash was reported before 2 p.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 at Mile Marker 113 near Kenly. The road was closed for more than eight hours.

A state trooper told WRAL News a tractor-trailer, driven by 51-year-old Charles Haskell, of Las Vegas, Nev., failed to stop for slowing traffic due to a lane closure then collided with a 2013 Chevy Tahoe.

The State Highway Patrol (SHP) said after the first crash, Haskell then hit a 2017 Toyota Rav-4 and two other tractor-trailers before his tractor-trailer came to a stop and caught on fire.
