It happened at around 2:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes past Norwich Ave (Highway 59).

"What I can tell you is that the vehicle did leave the roadway and did erupt into flames. It did have one occupant, the driver, that has been pronounced deceased."

All of the westbound lanes between Norwich Ave and Sweaburg Road were closed for several hours, but two of the lanes are now open.
