Investigators say he died at the scene.

Dan Cook from Winslow Township said, "You hear sirens up and down the road all the time it's not that out of the ordinary."

Cook lives behind the Winslow Township crash scene - he says there are accidents here all the time.

"Every intersection is dangerous when it's only one vehicle involved - driver error."

Investigators searched the car and found various belongings including bright green shrubs - still intact - sticking out the back of the vehicle.

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office is handling the investigation.

Detectives are now working to determine where this man was headed and what led up to the crash.
