Jonathan Orander, 33, of New Bedford, Massachusetts, was traveling north at a high speed just before 7:25 p.m when the 2015 Chevrolet SUV he was driving ran off the left shoulder of the expressway and hit the underpass bridge pier, the N.C. State Highway Patrol said. The SUV overturned several times before it came to a rest upright facing north on the left shoulder, troopers said.

Orander wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
