Shallotte, NC (October 30, 2026) - Southbound traffic on U.S. 17 in Shallotte was blocked Friday morning after a collision involving an overturned box truck and a jackknifed tractor-trailer, according to authorities.
The collision occurred near the South End traffic light and Old Shallotte Road in Brunswick County. First responders worked at the scene while the southbound lanes were closed.
Injury information was not reported.
Responsibility in a Two-Truck Collision
The involvement of two commercial trucks does not establish that both drivers share responsibility. An insurance adjuster assessing a collision examines the conduct that contributed to it. The overturned box truck and jackknifed tractor-trailer describe the vehicles at the scene; those descriptions alone do not resolve how the collision occurred.
The Southbound Roadway Disruption
The crash blocked the southbound roadway while responders worked near Old Shallotte Road. The available account did not provide an injury count or describe anyone’s condition.
