Kenneth Anthony Burrell, 48, was behind the wheel of a black BMW car which collided with a street light and some trees after it left the carriageway opposite Bridge House Farm, just before midnight last Friday.
Mr Burrell, a father-of-three who worked as a lorry driver, was declared dead at the scene.
He lived in Penrith, Cumbria, and had been in County Durham to visit a friend who lives in the Ferryhill area.
Officers from the accident investigation unit are continuing to appeal for witnesses to contact them on 0191-375 2159.
