CHICAGO (CBS) -- Driving way too fast.

That's what caused a fiery crash. The police chief in Dolton tells CBS 2 News that a driver was driving at a high rate of speed before causing this fiery crash.

It happened on Sibley Boulevard, near Wentworth on the far South Side. The chief said the car was speeding when it hit a second vehicle, spun around, then hit a semi driving the opposite direction.

The speeding car then caught fire and crews weren't able to rescue the driver. No one else was hurt.
