| Lorenzo Charles |
Former NC State basketball standout Lorenzo Charles died in a bus accident on I-40 in Raleigh, according to Raleigh PD.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash. Raleigh experienced heavy rain and thunderstorms, but no word yet if weather or speed was a factor. Charles was the driver of the bus, heading to Durham to pick up passengers.
The bus was owned by Elite Coach, which is a limo, bus, and charter service located in Apex, NC.
Here are some images from WRAL's Sky5 of the accident scene:
Charles is best known for completing Dereck Whittenburg's "alley-oop" to defeat Houston in the 1983 NCAA championship game.
