A 43-year-old man was killed this morning on Interstate 75.
DeAngelo Smith was driving a friend to work about 6 a.m. when he lost control of his 2002 Ford Explorer, causing the SUV to flip and roll, said Sgt. Jerri Weary, Chattanooga police spokeswoman.
The accident occurred near East Brainerd Road, she said.
Smith and his friend, Allan Belcher, were wearing seat belts, she said, but Smith was pronounced dead at the scene.
Belcher was transported to Erlanger hospital, where he is listed in serious but stable condition, Weary said.
