| 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.
More info as it becomes available...
Lorenzo was the nicest guy on the planet. He must have fallen asleep at the wheel, that's the only way he would have crashed. He was a hard worker. He use to destroy Marcus Miles(me) and John Spider Salley.
