It happened in the eastbound lanes of the expressway near Thornton Road when a trailing car struck the right rear quarter panel of a four-door sedan, causing the sedan to strike a median barrier and flip. The sedan’s driver, 53, and his woman passenger were taken to Aria Health’s Torresdale hospital. The driver died about a half-hour later. The woman was listed in critical condition then upgraded to stable.

The other driver, 26, was not injured. Police have not announced criminal charges. ••
