The driver of a 2001 Chevy transport van, Christopher Paul Nelson, of Exeter, was driving westbound on Caldwell Ave.  The Proteus Inc. box truck, at Turnberry Place, either failed to merge into the one lane, or did merge and then drifted from the lane.

Nelson was trapped in his vehicle and was unable to be rescued until after the fire was put out.  He died at the scene of the collision.
