NORFOLK — A driver who police say appeared to be racing another car on Interstate 64 early today was killed when his car hit a guard rail and flipped over.
Martinez Castro, 39, of Hampton, was in a 1994 Toyota Supra headed west in the area of 4th View Street at 12:25 a.m. A witness told police he appeared to be racing a white car, said state police Sgt. D.S. Carr. He lost control of his car, struck a guardrail on the right, overturned, and was thrown 100 feet from the point of impact, said state Carr.
The other car did not stop. No further description of it was available.
Castro was not wearing a seatbelt, and died at the scene, Carr said
