A man is dead after a car slammed into a toll plaza on the Atlantic City Expressway and burst into flames, officials said.

The crash occurred about 10:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the Egg Harbor toll plaza.

The car with just the driver inside hit a toll booth and caught fire, officials said. That man did not escape.

The fire extended to the toll booth, causing some damage.

The manned toll booths were shut down after the crash and all vehicles were sent through the E-ZPass express lane.

State Police are investigating.
