GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — A FedEx truck was stolen and eventually crashed into a building, sending three people, including the man who stole the truck, to the hospital Thursday morning.
WNCT reports a FedEx driver was heading south on Memorial Drive, near the intersection of Stantonsburg Road, around 10:30 a.m. while making deliveries. A man approached the truck and the driver, fearing for his safety, jumped out of the passenger side of the truck.
The suspect then drove down the wrong side of Memorial Drive, raced through the Statonsburg Road intersection heading the wrong way, hit an SUV that has stopped in traffic, crossed a median and lost control. The truck then crashed into a nearby warehouse.
