CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a fatal crash in east Charlotte.

Police say a car hit and killed a person after midnight Thursday on Albemarle Road.

Video from the scene shows a private security vehicle with severe damage to the windshield.

The business involved was Weatherspoon Security. The company confirmed the accident involved one of its security guards and a pedestrian in a release.

“We are prayerful for the deceased and his family during this difficult time,” a spokesperson from the company said. “The safety and well-being of our customers, community and employees is always our highest priority.”

CMPD shut down the inbound lane of Albemarle Road during its investigation. The road has since reopened.
