The Raleigh Police Department responded to a two-vehicle crash at Glenwood Avenue and Lumley Road, not far from Raleigh-Durham International Airport, around 3:02 p.m. on July 4. According to police, a Nissan Altima driven by 70-year-old Barry Wayne Hayes traveled down the southbound ramp from Glenwood Avenue, ran a red light and struck a FastPark shuttle bus that was heading west on Lumley Road. The collision caused the bus to \u201croll and flip,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

After the Saturday crash, Hayes\u2019 family reported him missing the following Monday around 1 a.m. after not being able to locate him or the vehicle. That triggered a statewide Silver Alert after his family told Erwin police that Hayes was suffering from a cognitive impairment. The alert was cancelled once officials could confirm the same Barry Hayes reported missing was being charged in the fatal bus crash.<\/p>
