LENOIR COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - The man who died in a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning in Lenoir County has been identified.
Trooper J.F. Burruss said the crash happened on US-70 near La Grange, at 2:49 a.m. when the man’s motorcycle ran off the road and struck a guard rail.
Highway Patrol identifies the driver as 21-year-old Royal Ciancanelli, who they say was active duty military stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro.
Troopers say speed was a factor in the crash.
One single lane eastbound of US-70 was blocked for about an hour and a half before it reopened.
