Within the past hour and a half, an SUV headed eastbound on the outer north loop of I-65 rolled and crashed. According to mainstream photojournalists on the scene, the driver was thrown from the SUV during the accident and killed; the vehicle also flipped over the concrete barrier and into westbound lanes. The accident occurred just east of the 3rd Ave., North overpass. Photojournalists also told me that the vehicle may have been involved in a hit-and-run farther west down I-65. Those are the only details I have.
