The man was trapped in his vehicle when firefighters arrived after the crash at 2:33 a.m., Supervising Dispatcher Ed Pickett said.

It took crews 30 minutes to extricate the gravely injured man, who died before he was removed from the vehicle, Pickett said.

Three people reportedly fled the scene of the crash, so it was not known if anyone else was injured.
