Metropolitan Police Department detectives are investigating a vehicle collision that killed two people at Interstate 695.

At approximately 6:44 p.m. on March 8, a 2011 BMW was traveling eastbound at an apparent high rate of speed on Interstate 695 when the driver lost control and collided with a parked District of Columbia Department of Public Works dump truck at exit 1C, according to a press release. The BMW crossed multiple lanes of traffic, hitting a Toyota, struck a jersey barrier and caught on fire.  

The two occupants of the BMW died from their injuries. The passenger has been identified as 32-year-old Steven Roy. The driver’s identity is being withheld pending next of kin notification.
