A motorist was killed late Wednesday in a fiery single-vehicle wreck in Alpharetta, police said.

Alpharetta police spokesman George Gordon said a Toyota Corolla that was eastbound on Cumming Street near Clairmont Avenue shortly before midnight left the roadway, struck a utility pole and caught fire.

Responding officers pulled the male driver from the vehicle, Gordon said. He was taken to North Fulton Hospital in critical condition, but later died, according to Gordon.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office identified the man killed as Jason Dapice, 36, of Alpharetta.
