A man is dead after a crash in Johnston County on Saturday. Troopers said Brindle Wood Goodwin, 74, died after he crashed into a tree along NC-96. The crash happened around 1:05 p.m. on NC-96 near Godwin Lake Road.

Troopers said Goodwin was driving south on NC-96, when he crossed the centerline, traveled left off of the road and hit a tree. He died on the scene. Before the crash, troopers said a person reported Goodwin for driving recklessly. The caller said the car was “all over the roadway,” according to troopers. He also was not wearing a seatbelt.

Troopers do not believe speed and alcohol were involved in the crash. Troopers said a medical condition cannot be ruled out, and toxicology results are still pending. NC-96 near Godwin Lake Road was closed for about two hours but it has since reopened.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information should contact the Johnston County Highway Patrol Office at 919-934-2186 or Sgt. N.D. White or C.M. Hall at 919-733-4400.
