A driver has died after going around a barricade and driving off the edge of a hurricane-damaged North Carolina highway that became a symbol of Hurricane Helene’s destruction. Photos of Interstate 40 with multiple lanes washed out by Helene near the Tennessee state line drew widespread attention after the storm as the region was largely cut off by numerous road closures.

A pickup driver died Tuesday morning after crashing into a tractor-trailer that was parked on Interstate 95 in Harford County, causing a fire that shut down the highway for hours, according to Maryland State Police.
