Raleigh, N.C. A Raleigh man died in a crash early Saturday that closed part of eastbound Interstate 440 in Raleigh.
A 2004 Toyota SUV driven by Christopher Howell Oakley ran off the right side of I-440 between Glenwood Avenue and Six Forks Road and hit a guardrail, police said. The SUV then traveled across all four lanes of traffic and struck the concrete median barrier before crossing back over all four lanes and ending up on the shoulder of the highway.
Oakley was the only occupant of the vehicle.
A police report doesn t provide a cause for the crash but indicates that he wasn t speeding at the time of the crash and that investigators don t believe alcohol or drugs were a factor.
