Default NC Engine Out Landing?

I took a long road trip over the weekend. At one point, I was
driving north on US-52 just turning onto I-74 near Mt Airy in
north-central North Carolina. As I made the turn, a very low
flying airplane passed over the freeway. It had one engine
stopped and the prop feathered. I think it was a large Cessna,
perhaps a Caravan, and I am pretty sure it was in Fed Ex markings.
The plane was pretty low, perhaps less than 500 feet over the
trees, and really moving fast.

I have no idea if there was an airport, or if the airplane was
in trouble. There were so many trees that it was impossible to
tell what was going on. Anyone know if there is an airport in
this area? Anyone know anything about this incident, or how I
could find out if this plane did make an emergency landing?
