Overturned transfer truck shuts down I-85 North exit ramp in Gaston County
GASTONIA, N.C. (WBTV) – An overturned transfer truck shut down traffic along an I-85 exit ramp in Gaston County on Monday morning.

The Gastonia Police Department said the road was closed for the next couple of hours as cleanup and recovery efforts were underway. Drivers are asked to avoid the area if possible and use detour routes.
Officials said the driver of the truck was taken to the hospital. The driver’s condition was not immediately clear, or what caused the truck to turnover.

North Carolina guard Isaiah Denis re-signs with Tar Heels
UNC is still high on Denis as backcourt depth piece despite coaching change and lack of playing time last season.
While North Carolina continues to rebuild its backcourt, one of its key guards is officially returning.
Guard Isaiah Denis re-signed with the Tar Heels on Sunday afternoon, the university announced on social media. The move comes after Denis withdrew his name from the transfer portal on April 18.
Denis was among the first UNC players to enter the transfer portal when it opened April 7. But after a meeting with head coach Michael Malone and the coaching staff, he reconsidered and decided to return for another season.
A former four-star prospect, Denis was part of North Carolina’s 2025 recruiting class that also included Caleb Wilson and Derek Dixon. Denis appeared in 10 games last season, averaging 1.9 points and 0.6 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field.
UNC remains high on Denis and his ability to provide depth in the backcourt.
