HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man died after he was ejected from his car in a rollover crash early Friday morning in north Houston.

According to Harris County sheriff's deputies, the man lost control after rear-ending another driver in the 13500 block of the I-45 North Freeway northbound feeder road approaching the intersection with Rankin just after midnight.

The driver hit a retaining wall and rolled multiple times, deputies said. The car came to a stop upside down in the U-turn lane.
