The driver, who has not been identified, was traveling northbound near the scenic overlook when the car went through the wall and into the tree line along the Potomac River. The victim was dead at the scene.

I heard the dispatch for FFX Fire and Rescue about 3:30 am or so for this incident. FFX was enroute when they were called off because it was technically in Arlington's jurisdiction. Assume Arlington made it to the scene when FFX was called off.

Like anything,late night/early morning on the weekend, likely alcohol was involved.

Unfortunate ending to the situation, but just another reason to stay off the road late at night and do not drive under the influence.

Another drunk takes himself out. Just be thankful he didn't take any innocent victims with him.

To the deceased......you got what you deserved.

As the saying goes, "Nothing good happens after midnight"!

Home and in bed, these things do not happen.

Unfortunately this person never learned that lesson.

He may have fallen asleep. Although texting and intoxicated are very likely. Just imagine looking down for a second; Hit [send]. Look up; and your in the air heading for the Potomac. That would have to be a real quick plea. "Oh God, please gorgive me"
