A sport utility vehicle lies in the ditch off Old Mount Olive Highway early today after it slid off the icy road. Mar-Mac firefighters helped the driver out of the vehicle and she was taken to Wayne Memorial Hospital. An early morning snow and sleet storm left Wayne County roads in dicey shape and lawmen urged drivers to slow down. Roads were expected to stay dangerous as temperatures were predicted to remain near freezing until Thursday afternoon.
