A driver has died after going around a barricade on a hurricane-damaged North Carolina highway that became a symbol of Helene's destruction, then driving off the roadway, officials said. Photos of Interstate 40 with multiple lanes washed out by Helene near the Tennessee state line garnered widespread attention in the days after the storm as the region was largely cut off by numerous road closures. Emergency workers from Tennessee and North Carolina responded to a report of a crash involving a vehicle that went off the collapsed road and down an embankment on eastbound I-40 on Saturday night, according to a news release from the Junaluska Community Volunteer Fire Department.

A driver has been hospitalized after driving straight through the guardrail of a parking garage and landing their car upside down on the street below, police said. The incident happened on Monday at the Harlem Irving Plaza Mall in Norridge, Illinois - some 15 miles northwest of downtown Chicago - when officers from the Norridge Police Department as well as the Norwood Park Fire Protection District were dispatched to the 4000 block of Octavia to reports of an overturned vehicle with the driver trapped inside, according to a statement from the Norridge Police Department. In a photo shared by authorities on social media, emergency response vehicles can be seen surrounding the upside-down vehicle with several responders on their hands and knees near the driver's side of the car as the parking garage's guardrail can be seen torn from the side of the building, cascading down to the street below.
