Man Dies Inside Truck After Sinking in Potomac River

-

A man was killed after the truck he was driving fell into the Potomac River in northwest D.C. early on Tuesday.

The driver was reportedly seen “frantically trying to escape” from his vehicle while it plunged into the water, according to Fox 5 D.C., which attributed the information to authorities.

D.C. police found the body that was still inside the truck submerged in the river.

Metropolitan Police received a phone call shortly after midnight from a U.S. Secret Service officer, who spotted a truck pulled into the river near Thompson’s Boathouse in the Georgetown area.

The Harbor Division of D.C. police immediately responded to the incident, as well as D.C. Fire and EMS rescue crews and U.S. Park Police officers. The body of the man was recovered at around 2:00 a.m.

The deceased person’s identity has not been confirmed yet. And the cause of the accident remains unclear as an investigation continues.
