ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. — A truck driver connected to a deadly motorcycle crash in Rockingham County has been found in Kernersville, according to troopers.
Troopers said the crash happened around 11 a.m. Friday and involved three motorcycles. It shut down both sides of Highway 220 at Baggage Road for several hours. Troopers said the highway has now reopened.
Trooper Brian Martin said a group of motorcyclists were driving north on US 220 near Williams Road when they ran into debris on the highway.
Highway Patrol said two riders died and three more were taken to Moses Cone Hospital with serious injuries. The three injured people are now in stable condition, according to troopers.
Troopers obtained video footage from a local business, showing a tractor-trailer that lost its tarp when it hit a line in the roadway. Highway Patrol said the motorcyclists then crashed into the tarp.
Highway Patrol said the truck is being held for evidence.
