The vehicle caught fire after leaving the road.

At this point no names have been released for either person involved, and we have not been told if the person killed was the driver or the passenger.
At the time of the accident the visibility was reportedly very low in the area because of the fog.
As state police investigate the accident the driving lane is closed to traffic.
