THE DIRTY ARMY: (CBSnews.com) - Authorities say a man has driven over the edge of the Grand Canyon and plunged 600 feet to his death. 

Grand Canyon National Park spokeswoman Shannan Marcak says rescue personnel found the vehicle and the body of a male below the South Rim.  ”Plans for retrieval of the body and the vehicle are being made at this time,” Marcak said. 

The National Park Service is investigating. Marcak says no additional information was immediately available. The incident happened around 6 a.m. Monday near the El Tovar Hotel.

What a cool way to go out.  I wonder if he took out any donkeys on his way down?- nik

    The ‘plunge’ was no where near the sky walk. It was in the national park area.

    I dunno, ya it’s a story but don’t make fun of it. Maybe this guy lost his kids, maybe he lost his job in this sh!t economy and couldn’t handle it. I don’t think you are going to make it to Heaven but if you do, be prepared to get kicked in the nuts a million times coming through. Unpaid bills stay on your credit for 7 years Karma is for life
