I-40 crash leaves man with broken bones

The man, whose name was not released, drove off the road to the right, over-corrected, crossed all lanes of traffic, hit a barrier, went back across the lanes of traffic, down an embankment and hit a tree, according to Durham police.

The Hispanic man, who is in his mid-20s, survived, and a medical helicopter flew him to UNC Hospitals. He had some broken bones, police said.

Officers said they believe alcohol was a factor in the crash, which happened just after 9 p.m.

I-40 was closed for 35 to 40 minutes as crews worked the crash.

No other information was available.
