WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Several Wilmington Police Department vehicles responded to the State Port in Wilmington late Wednesday night.
The WPD cruisers were spotted with lights flashing near the Shipyard Boulevard entrance to the port. A law enforcement source told WECT News that an SUV overturned on the property, but that has not been confirmed with any officials with the North Carolina State Port Authority or the State Highway Patrol.
The entrance to the State Port from Shipyard Blvd. was blocked by police cruisers and motorists were not allowed to turn onto River Rd. from Shipyard Blvd. As of Thursday at around noon, the port and road have both been reopened.
We have reached out to law enforcement for more information, and this story will be updated as needed.
