The driver, identified as 59-year-old Reginald Eugene Campbell of Roanoke, was the only occupant and died at the scene.
Preliminary findings show Campbell was driving a westbound Infiniti EX35 when the vehicle left the roadway, striking two Appalachian Electric Power utility poles. The car briefly returned to the road before leaving it again and hitting a tree.
The damage to the utility poles forced the closure of Shenandoah Avenue NW throughout the day.
The Roanoke Police Department said the investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
