The driver, 33-year-old James N. Williams of Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania, swerved out of the lane he was traveling in, and struck a barrier. The impact caused the vehicle to swerve across the lane, and land in a grassy area next to the roadway.
As the vehicle traveled through the grass, the vehicle flipped and struck a tree.
The driver got out of his car to make a phone call when he was struck by an unknown vehicle that fled the scene.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect vehicle was described as a small, sports car, dark in color -- possibly a Honda Civic. It was last seen continuing south on the ramp.

The crash continues to be investigated.
