RALEIGH, N.C. — A rollover crash on I-440 at New Bern Avenue left one woman dead and and multiple people injured early Monday morning.

Raleigh police say at least five people were in an SUV that overturned on the exit ramp after losing control of the vehicle.

The vehicle, they say, took the exit too fast and went off the road before rolling over.

A woman died at the scene. The other passengers were taken to the hospital to be treated. Police say the other passengers had "mostly minor" injuries and were expected to be okay.

Exit ramp 13 onto New Bern Ave. was expected to be closed for at least an hour or two after the crash, which was still being cleaned up around 4:30 a.m.

After several hours, the ramp was able to reopen around 6:50 a.m.
