An investigation is underway, officials said, after a 44-year-old man from New York City was killed — and two others were pulled from a burning vehicle — in a crash that happened on the interchange to I-95 at Street Road in Bensalem early Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to police, first responders were dispatched to Street Road at the interchange for I-95 at about midnight, early Tuesday, after three vehicles were involved in a deadly crash. <\/p>\n
Officials said that responders arrived to find a silver 2013 Chevrolet Sonic fully engulfed in flames after the driver had been ejected from the vehicle. <\/p>\n
The driver, identified as Timur Khabelov, 44, of Brooklyn, New York, was pronounced at the scene, officials said. <\/p>\n
Two others, a 43-year-old man and a 39-year-old man, were trapped in the burning vehicle when first responders arrived at the scene, officials said. <\/p>\n
They were pulled from the vehicle and, police said that they have since been hospitalized in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Police allege that a preliminary investigation into the crash claims the Sonic was travelling at a high rate of speed eastbound on Street Road as it approached an intersection the interchange to I-95, when it ran a red light and struck a Dodge Journey that was exiting the highway and heading towards Westbound Street Road.<\/p>\n
As a result of the impact, police said, the Sonic went airborne and crossed the center median where it struck a Honda Accord before coming to rest in the left lanes of Street Road and, subsequently, burst into flames. <\/p>\n
Police said the incident was captured on traffic cameras operated by the Bensalem Township Police Department. <\/p>\n
An investigation into this crash is ongoing, officials said, and it was not immediately known if drugs or alcohol were a factor in this crash. <\/p>\n
Police did not report any injuries to other drivers involved in this incident. <\/p>\n
