<p>A Maryland woman driving on a Virginia highway was killed Saturday when a 12-year-old boy jumped off an overpass and landed on her car in a suspected suicide attempt.<br />
The unidentified jumper fell from above I-66 in Fairfax County around 4:15 p.m., striking the driver&#8217;s side of Marisa Harris&#8217;s Ford Escape, according to Virginia State Police.<br />
Harris, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene after her boyfriend, who was in the passenger&#8217;s seat and remained uninjured, took control of the car and steered it to safety.</p>
