A 19-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle crash on I-355 Sunday evening near southwest suburban Woodridge.

About 8:30 p.m., a 2002 GMC Envoy was traveling northbound on I-355 near 75th Street when it struck the right wall, rolled over several times and trapped the driver under it, according to Illinois State Police.

The driver, Adalberto Lopez, of Chicago, was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:04 p.m., police said. He was the only occupant of the SUV and no other injuries were reported.

The two right lanes were closed after the accident, but were reopened by about 12:20 a.m. Monday, police said.

The cause of the crash remained under investigation Monday morning.
