Witnesses called 911 around 5:54 a.m. early Sunday.
"There was a metro cab that was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of traffic," said Denver Police Department Technician Tyrone Campbell.
The cab driver, Abdurazaq Bilal, 27, collided with a silver Hyundai and then rolled.
"The Metro Cab actually rolled over, caught fire. We have a passerby who actually extracted the driver of that cab," Campbell said.

Bilal had been driving for Metro Taxi Denver since September 2015, according to a statement sent to Denver7 by the taxi company.
There were no passengers in either car, according to police.
Investigators were looking into whether speed and alcohol played a role.
It appeared Bilal may have crashed into some mailboxes and lost a bumper about a mile and a half from the collision with the Hyundai.
A license plate found on South Monaco Parkway near East Mansfield Avenue matched the cab, officers told Denver7's Kyle Horan.
