A Camden man was killed early Saturday in a fiery crash on Interstate 295 in Gloucester County. According to the New Jersey State Police, he was traveling south on I-295 around 1:12 a.m. when he apparently lost control of the vehicle near milepost 9.4 in Logan Township.
Police said the driver ran off the roadway, struck a parked Kia vehicle and continued into a wooded area, where he crashed into some trees and a fence, before stopping and becoming fully engulfed in flames. Upon hitting the trees, the driver was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Kia was unoccupied and no other injuries were reported. The case remains under investigation, and no additional information has been released.
