Here is the link. There seems to be more than just the persons name redacted from the recording but I think the pertinent data points are there. I am just that familiar with the local roads (i.e. 64, etc) to make a proper assessment of the callers perceived location of the accident.

As far as being deserted you know how it goes...some people want to write posts that spin or otherwise move the discussion away from the brutal truth. Once the facts overwhelm their position they seem to disappear.

Hopefully things will be learned from this unfortunate situation and the process will be improved for all concerned - drivers wearing seatbelts, 911 collecting and following up with adequate information, searching to be thorough, etc...

Thanks for taking the time to research wish I could but I can't right now.

This is excerpted from the WRAL URL. There is a traffic map available and if you zoom out I95 & Rte64 are clearly shown.

Looks like Mr. Rodgers was very accurate.

Wayne Anthony Guay, 57, and Dianne Guay, 55, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., were found Monday inside their white Mazda in a swampy area located between mile markers 139 and 140 on I-95 in Nash County.

In a call to Nash County 911 shortly before 7:30 a.m. last Thursday, a passing motorist reported seeing a car drive off the interstate and into the water.
"I just passed exit 141 and in between where (U.S. Highway) 64 connects with 95 at exit 141. There is a car in the ditch," the caller said. "There's a car in the ditch. It's in the swamp area, lights on and everything."


The Highway Patrol, a rescue squad and the Nash County Sheriff's Department searched up and down I-95 from mile marker 138 to mile marker 141 but couldn't find anything.
"They were unable to locate (it), not seeing any evidence on the roadway of the crash or seeing off the roadway," said Lt. Everett Clendenin of the Highway Patrol.
The car was found four days later by a state Department of Transportation worker between mile markers 139 and 140 in a swamp area.
