It is not known whether Davies was the driver or a passenger in the car.
Three people were inside the car when it crashed into a metal guardrail along the George Washington Memorial Parkway at about 3:15 a.m. ET on Tuesday, U.S. Park Police spokesman David Schlosser said, according to The Washington Post.
One of the three occupants was pronounced dead and the two others were taken to a hospital with serious injuries, the newspaper reported.
