DURHAM, NC : Dead person found inside car that crashed into parked cars in Durham on Thursday, 3rd January 2019

A death investigation is underway in Durham County after police found a body inside a crashed vehicle Thursday morning.

Durham Police Department said officers received a call before 4 a.m. about a car hitting several parked cars at Southern Oaks at Davis Park by Cortland, an apartment complex at the intersection of Hopson Road and Davis Drive, which has a Morrisville address but is located in Durham County.

Officers arrived at the scene and learned that the driver of the car was dead.

"I live alone and was leaving for the office. That's when I saw this," said Pranay Rangan, who lives at the apartment complex. "Looks mysterious. I don't think there's enough space for the car to climb up somehow - and somehow - it obviously looks mysterious."

Investigators said they do not believe the crash killed the driver, but they're not exactly sure yet how the driver died.
