The crash on I-295 westbound happened just after 8:30 p.m. last Saturday, and a passing driver called 9-1-1 to report the crash.
The vehicle was initially reported to be ablaze, but arriving responders did not find it on fire, according to Frank Farry, the chief of the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company.
The man was found outside the vehicle, and two children were inside, Farry said.

The vehicle went a significant distance off the highway, and firefighters had to use a chainsaw to gain access, the chief said.
The Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad, Bucks County Rescue Squad, and Newtown Emergency Medical Services responded to transport the three victims to local hospitals for treatment.

In addition to the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company, the Parkland, Penndel, and Newportville fire companies responded to the call.
