The impact was so strong, that the engine was ejected.

That section of the parkway was shut down for hours as police investigated. But the cause remains unclear, and police say no other vehicle was involved.

A witness took photos showing passers-by rushing to the wreckage to help. You can see the car's engine on fire.

Another witness said she was waiting at a red light when she saw the car run off the bridge. She said everything happened in about 2 seconds.
