HCSO reported the 51-year-old was driving a Nissan Rogue when witnesses said he drifted off the Grand Parkway and eventually over an embankment into the water.<\/p>\n

“It went airborne into the retention pond near the Amazon facility here,” HCSO Sgt. Beau Beaty said at the scene.<\/p>\n

Beaty added that first responders performed CPR on the man, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Investigators said traffic on the Grand Parkway has been restricted as they determine what led up to the deadly crash.<\/p>\n

Precinct 4 officials first reported the driver was able to get out of the vehicle safely, but the Harris County Sheriff’s Office later reported a man died as a result of the crash.<\/p>\n
