preCharge News PENNSYLVANIA — An Uber driver died and a passenger was injured after a fiery crash in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood Saturday night, police said.

The crash happened just after 9 p.m. on the 1000 block of Marlborough Street, under the I-95 overpass. Police say the Uber driver was driving four passengers from a nearby concert venue. The Uber driver then lost control of the vehicle and struck several parked cars under the overpass before the car, a late-model Hyundai Kona, burst into flames. It is unclear if the driver had some sort of medical episode leading up to the incident, Philadelphia Police Inspector D F Pace said. 

When police arrived at the scene, they discovered several cars on fire. The body of the Uber driver was found inside the vehicle as firefighters put out the flames, police said.

All four passengers were able to escape the car. Only one of the passengers suffered minor injuries.

Police said I-95 sustained no structural damage and is running normally.
