RALEIGH, N.C. — A woman survived a rollover crash early Tuesday morning on Interstate 440 at Western Boulevard.

WRAL Brett Knese learned at the scene that the woman's car lost control near the Cary exit around 2:30 a.m., ran off the road and hit a construction barrier in the median before it flipped onto its roof.

The car was badly damaged, and debris covered the side of the road, but the woman was not badly injured.

Officials do not believe the woman was impaired.
