HERNDON, Va. -- A man died after a bizarre car accident in Fairfax County.

Police were called to the intersection of Powells Tavern Place and Dranesville Road in Herndon late Wednesday night by a neighbor who heard a crash.

But when officers arrived they couldn't find anything.

Thursday morning police found a 1997 Mazda in the back yard of a nearby home. 

Joseph Taylor, 31, of Herndon, was dead in the vehicle.

Investigators believe the driver lost control of the car on Dranesville Road, crossed the median, hit a curb, rolled through two fences and then hit a house.
