A person was killed late Wednesday night on southbound Interstate 880 in Milpitas when a Toyota Tundra collided with a metal pole and burst into flames.
The crash happened at about 11:55 p.m. just north of state Highway 237, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Toyota was in the No. 2 lane before it crossed all the way to the shoulder, hit a metal guardrail to the west of the road, and then collided with a metal freeway sign pole.
The Toyota came to rest on all four tires facing northwest in a field and began burning.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
