After the crash, the SUV caught fire. Eventually, another passenger can be seen staggering away from the smoky accident. A toll worker then walks over to investigate and finds the man lying motionless on the ground.
While the crash may appear fatal, the man who was ejected and flew across the lane survived. He and the other passengers of the car were taken to the hospital, treated for injuries, and released the same day.
According to a trooper, the accident appeared to be related to driver fatigue.
