Prankster blocks highway; NCHP looking for suspect

BRUNSWICK COUNTY (WWAY) – The North Carolina Highway Patrol is looking for someone who took a construction sign on Old Highway 17 Business and blocked the road. It’s an area under construction just south of Bolivia.

Troopers say a driver on the road around 100a this morning came up on the sign – had no where to go – veered off – and rolled the car. He’s in the hospital tonight in serious condition.

The area is near a trailer park – and the NCPD is hoping someone who lives there can help identify the suspect. If you have any information, you’re encouraged to call the Wilmington office at 395.3917.
