NC teenager killed after log crashes through pickup truck windshield

A high school student in Lenoir died Tuesday after a log crashed into the windshield of the truck he was in.

The crash happened shortly after 7:30 a.m. near Hibriten High School, where the teen was a sophomore, according to WSOC-TV.

A logging truck was making a right turn onto a road as a Ford F-150 was about to go through the intersection. The F-150 collided with a log that extended from the back of the logging truck, according to Lenoir police.

The log went through the windshield and killed 15-year-old Wesley Oliver, police said. The driver of the F-150 was identified as 50-year-old Brian Oliver. Police did not comment on his condition.
