An 18-wheeler crashed into a canal in Brunswick County late Wednesday night. According to Southport Fire Chief Todd Coring, the tractor-trailer ran off a bridge just before midnight on River Road at the entrance of the Brunswick Nuclear Plant. The driver was taken out of the vehicle and wasn't injured. "Miracles do happen," the driver's father said at the scene. Officials say the truck was carrying woods chips at the time of the crash. As of 8:45 a.m., crews were waiting for a vacuum truck to remove the wood chips from the water.
