A single-car crash at a Garden State Parkway toll plaza has claimed the life of a driver.
New Jersey state police say the driver of a car struck a concrete "bullnose" between two toll booths on the southbound side of the Great Egg Harbor toll plaza, near Somers Point, NJ, and caught fire."

Holy crap! Heard about it on the weekend, but hadn't gotten to see video of it.

Authorities are investigating whether a Lower Township man's history of seizures caused his fatal, high-speed, fiery crash into a Garden State Parkway toll booth last week.
Bernard King, 52, had a history of seizures and apparently had a seizure only a few hours before the 8:30 a.m. accident, according to State Police and King's mother, Edna King. Edna King said her son was taken from the Atlantic City Hilton Casino Resort, where he worked as a dealer, to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus, at about 5:30 a.m.
King was heading south on the parkway when he crashed into a concrete barrier and toll booth at the toll plaza. State Police estimated King was traveling about 65 mph.
King's car immediately burst into flames. State Police working a nearby truck-exhaust checkpoint rushed to the scene, only to have their rescue attempt foiled by flames from the burning car.
Fire and rescue units quickly arrived at the scene, along with other State Police units.
The crash closed at least three toll lanes, and parkway operators waived tolls for about an hour at the remaining toll lanes to keep traffic moving quickly through the scene.
The Great Egg toll plaza is one of three toll plazas on the southern end of the parkway that has been converted into one-way toll plazas in an attempt to improve traffic flow.

Honestly, unless a bit of burning metal landed on my car, with the size of that explosion, I would probably sadly shake my head and go on as well. The police who showed up couldn't even get into the car to help (and you saw how quickly they showed up in the video).
