An eyewitness on the scene, Dylan Vanek, a junior in Kogod School of Business, said the driver hit a curb and the car flew 10 to 15 feet into the air before coming down in “a very steep angle.”
Vanek said the car was going toward Maryland on Massachusetts Avenue, and instead of turning at the circle, the car kept going straight and hit a curb.
More updates will follow.
