Drivers shocked by wrecked truck next to North Carolina highway. But there’s a story behind the warning.

A destroyed truck and large sign on the side of a Columbus County highway have no doubt caught the attention of thousands of drivers, and the fire chief behind the display hopes the message will shock people into yielding to emergency vehicles on the road.
