Police are investigating a deadly crash in the Bronx, after a car flew off an exit ramp from the highway and very nearly slammed into a house.
A Mercedes-Benz was traveling south along I-95 in the Eastchester section Thursday when it went to take exit 14, according to police. The car then went over the offramp and fell in front of a house directly below it.
The driver, a 25-year-old man, was ejected from the car at some point. He was taken to Jacobi Hospital, where he died. A 28-year-old woman in the passenger seat was also taken to the hospital; she is expected to recover.
No one inside the home was hurt, and there was only minor damage to the property.
