A car was totaled after colliding with a tree near the intersection of Urban Avenue and North Buchanan Boulevard off East Campus late Tuesday evening.
There was only one person in the car and the driver is currently being treated at Duke University Hospital, said W. Coghill, corporal district supervisor for Durham Police Department.
The car “hit a tree, lost control and flipped over,” Coghill noted. He added that there are no witnesses and could not confirm if another driver was involved. He said the driver is likely not Duke-affiliated.
Four DPD police cars and a firetruck blocked off the scene.
