Metropolitan Police Department detectives are investigating a traffic fatality from a traffic crash that occurred on Feb. 3, on the 3000 block of 20th Street, NE.

The preliminary investigation at about 11:43 pm, a 2004 Infiniti G35 was traveling up the 3000 block of 20th Street, NE.

The Infiniti’s driver lost control of the car and slammed into a Jeep Cherokee that was parked on the curb facing west. Because of the intensity of the collision, a Nissan Xterra was pushed into a BMW 3 Series, which in turn was pushed into a Jeep. Following a 20-foot detour northward, the Jeep leaped the curb before coming to a final stop on the sidewalk.

The driver of the Jeep, 22-year-old Andy Carino was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
