A man died Saturday after he rear-ended a tractor-trailer on Interstate 40 West in Durham.
Around 2 a.m., officers responded to a crash in the westbound lanes of I-40 near South Miami Boulevard (Exit 281).
According to police, a man in a gray 2012 Honda Accord hit the back of a tractor-trailer that was parked on the side of the road.
The driver was not wearing a seatbelt. He was transported to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The tractor-trailer driver was inside his truck but was not injured.
The crash remains under investigation, but police said speed was a factor.
Three lanes of I-40 West were closed about three hours but have since reopened.
