Police looking for answers in death of former N.C. State basketball star

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Raleigh police say they don’t know why the
charter bus driven by Lorenzo Charles crashed earlier this week,
killing the North Carolina State University basketball star, and
they’re looking for witnesses to help.

Police filed a report Wednesday about the wreck, which occurred
Monday afternoon on Interstate 40. Police say the bus ran off the
road for an unknown reason, traveled through a grass shoulder,
across an on-ramp and into a wooded area. The report says the bus
then struck several trees and went back across the road before
stopping.

Police spokesman Jim Sughrue says officers remain interested in
obtaining information from any witnesses.

Charles is remembered for his game-winning dunk in the 1983 NCAA
championship game, in which the Wolfpack defeated Houston.
