A vigil held at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront Friday night overlooked a growing memorial to remember the man who drove off the fishing pier near 14th Street last Saturday morning.

“They’re going to extract the body from the vehicle and we will go with the medical examiner and attempt to identify him and reunite him with his family,” said Jody Saunders, a spokesperson for the Virginia Beach Police Department.
Police said the vehicle did not have a license plate when they pulled it out of the ocean, so they may need to use the Nissan Kicks’ VIN number to identify the man.
