Just before 6 p.m. Monday, Marc Oliviero, driving a black Volkswagen that authorities have stated had been involved in an Old City accident, zoomed down a ramp linking the Chestnut Street bridge to Columbus Boulevard, busted the vehicle through a metal fence and dropped into the body of water. Police divers removed the 25-year-old resident of the 1800 block of McKean Street from the automobile and secured transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:04 p.m.
As of press time, officials had not announced what caused the crash, but Battalion Chief Robert E. Clark noted no skid marks were present, meaning Oliviero had not applied the brakes or they failed him.
