WASHINGTON — A woman is dead after a 12-year-old boy jumped from an overpass and landed on her car on Interstate 66 in Fairfax County on Saturday.

Marisa W. Harris, a 22-year-old from Olney, Maryland, was killed while driving east on I-66 when a 12-year-old boy jumped from the Cedar Lane overpass near Nutley Street, Virginia State Police say.

The impact incapacitated Harris, so her front-seat passenger, a 23-year-old man who was not injured, steered the car off the road. Harris died at the scene.

The boy who jumped was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police are investigating the incident as a suicide attempt.

I-66 between Nutley Street and Gallows road was closed for several hours while police investigated the incident.
