The Durham Police Department's Traffic and Crash Team is investigating a Feb. 16 crash that occurred about 2:08 p.m. in the 4300 block of Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard.
Police said the suspect vehicle is believed to be a gray or silver 2006 or 2007 Honda Accord with a sunroof. The vehicle was last seen traveling southwest on Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard.
According to investigators, a 2010 Nissan Altima driven by a woman was speeding on U.S. 15-501 before changing multiple lanes to merge onto Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard. As the driver merged from the second lane into the first lane, the suspect vehicle -- also speeding -- moved into the first lane, causing the Altima to leave the roadway.
The Nissan struck a guardrail, causing the vehicle to rotate and eject the driver, police said. Two children who were inside the car were not injured. The driver was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Police said video attached to the department's release shows both vehicles moments before the Altima hit the guardrail.
