A Cedar Rapids man was killed Sunday morning in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 380.

According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, a car driven by Rashad Namar Carrington, 26, was northbound on Interstate 380 at the Highway 965 overpass in Johnson County at 3:05 a.m. Sunday when Carrington lost control. His car struck a guardrail and came to rest in the east ditch.
