A tractor trailer carrying logs collided with a car around four- thirty.
State police say the truck was in the northbound lane when an Isuzu Impulse swerved in front of it.
The car was lodged underneath the truck as it skidded another 60 yards.
Then the car exploded.
The passenger from the car was thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver died in the explosion.
So far police can't identify either of the accident victims because of the subsequent fire which actually melted the car's license plates.

(( Acting on the testimony of several former employees, special agents of the Environmental Protection Agency executed a search warrant for records and files at Environmental Systems and Technologies.
They also raided the Blacksburg home of company president John Parker.
The investigation began a year ago.
According to a search warrant affidavit, former employees say Parker routinely forced them to alter their time sheets to overbill clients, often himself adding hours to their time sheets.
It alleges when some projects ran out of money, E-S & T billed other clients for the time necessary to complete the work by charging labor hours which employees never put in.
In one instance, the affidavit claims Parker tried to inflate billing by 10 thousand dollars on a federal research grant to Virginia Tech.
In another, it alleges E-S-T submitted false claims on a government subcontract job, claims which the Environmental Protection Agency eventually paid.
