A 46-year-old man died after he was found shot inside his vehicle on the outbound upper level of the George Washington Bridge Tuesday evening, prompting a major police investigation that brought traffic to a standstill during the height of the commute.

Authorities said the incident happened around 7:18 p.m. Police responding to what was initially reported as a one-car crash discovered the driver unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to his rear right shoulder.

The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The man's identity is being withheld pending notification of family members. Authorities have not announced any arrests or released information about a possible suspect.

The investigation has concluded, and the George Washington Bridge has been cleared and reopened for the Wednesday morning commute.
