A man died in a crash Friday night in Raleigh after his vehicle was hit by a driver who suffered an apparent medical emergency.
The crash happened just before 9 p.m. Robert Traczewski was driving an Acura TL and stopped at a red light on Freedom Drive at the New Bern Avenue intersection, according to Raleigh police.
Police believe the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup truck may have had a medical emergency, according to their investigation. The emergency caused the truck to leave the road near the intersection. The vehicle drove up the culvert leading to Freedom Drive, causing it to go airborne. The truck then hit the driver’s side of Traczewski’s vehicle.
Traczewski, 65, died at the hospital from his injuries. The driver of the truck had non-life-threatening injuries.
No charges have been filed at this time.
