Brown says Michael Biegenheimer of Goldsboro was driving a van and couldn't brake in time for traffic that stopped on the road. The van smashed into a truck pulling a trailer and debris from that trailer then hit a passenger car in front of the truck.
No one was injured in the crash.
The 28-year-oold Biegenheimer was charged with failure to reduce speed.
