There were two wrecks in the city Friday morning in the span of an hour, one of which sent several people to the hospital.
The first wreck happened around 9:40 a.m. when a Pontiac Torrent SUV rear-ended a Honda Accord, causing the Accord to lurch forward and collide with a Honda Odyssey van, sending the Odyssey into a Chevrolet Suburban.
Several people were taken to Wayne Memorial Hospital for treatment of their injuries .
The second wreck happened around 10:30 a.m. Friday when the driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee crossed the center line on Oak Forest Road near Redwood Trail and collided head-on with a Toyota Avalon heading away from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
Both cars came to rest on the side of the road because of the impact, and the vehicles sustained significant damage to their front ends.
Goldsboro Police Department Sgt. Joshua Stine said the driver of the Jeep Grand Cherokee would be cited for unsafe movement at the least.
Nobody was injured because of the head-on collision.
