A man was hit and killed on Interstate 40 in Raleigh late Sunday night after he got out of his car along the highway, according to police.

Arun K. Sandram was struck at about 10:50 p.m. on eastbound I-40 just before the I-440 interchange in southwest Raleigh near Crossroads, according to police. Investigators are still trying to determine why Sandram, 35, stopped along the highway and got out.

Impairment by alcohol or drugs does not appear to be a factor, according to police.
