    Lorenzo Charles dead at 47

    RALEIGH, N.C. -- A tour bus official says a former North Carolina State basketball star who scored the game-winning basket to give the Wolfpack the 1983 national championship was killed when a bus he was driving crashed in Raleigh.

    Lorenzo Charles was 47.

    Elite Coach general manager Brad Jackson said Monday that Charles was driving a company bus on Interstate 40.

    Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue says the bus driver was killed and there were no passengers aboard.

    Charles grabbed an errant 30-foot shot by Dereck Whittenburg and dunked it for the winning basket in the Wolfpack's 54-52 victory over the University of Houston in the NCAA title game in Albuquerque.
