A person is dead after a vehicle crashed off a ramp at the Springfield Interchange and fell onto the railroad tracks below in Fairfax County, Virginia, early Tuesday.
The car was driving westbound on Interstate 495 toward Interstate 395 north when it went over a cement barrier near Exit 170B at around 1:15 a.m., according to Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller.
It landed upside down on the VRE tracks below and caught on fire, police said.
The person who died hasn’t been publicly identified.
