Someone died in a SUV fire about 2:30 Tuesday morning in Northampton.

The SUV came out of a dead-end alley, went down a grassy hill and crashed into the backyard at 2304 Northampton Ave., police Chief Ronald Morey said.

It has yet to be determined if the vehicle was burning before the crash, Morey said.

One person died and no one else was injured, he added. No first responders were hurt, he said.

The Northampton County Coroner's Office came to the scene and is part of the investigation, Morey said.

Borough police and fire personnel as of 5:30 a.m. remained at the scene, a county emergency dispatch supervisor said.

Just before 6 a.m., Morey said they expected to leave soon.

Further information on the victim will likely come from the coroner, Morey said.
