Man drives Camaro off New York bridge to his death; police investigate any tie to drag racing
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police in New York are investigating whether a man was drag racing when he drove his Camaro off a bridge and died.
Westchester County police say the man took an exit off a parkway and drove off the Ashford Avenue Bridge in Dobbs Ferry at around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. He was alone in his car.
The Journal News (http://lohud.us/1tZcupm ) reports that the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro fell 20 to 30 feet and landed overturned under the bridge.

The Ashford Avenue Bridge is a vital east-west span linking Dobbs Ferry to Ardsley. It was one of four bridges targeted by a $100 million construction project that began this year.
