The driver killed when his tractor-trailer cab plunged off the Delaware Memorial Bridge was a married dad from Brooklyn.

Zair Murzakov, 35, lost his life when the vehicle he was operating veered across three lanes and smashed through a concrete barrier at approximately 3:40 a.m. on Friday, plummeting more than 170 feet into the Delaware River below, according to the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA).

Officials reported that Murzakov was en route from New Jersey to Delaware when he suddenly veered across three lanes and collided with the concrete barrier, with the precise details of the incident still under investigation.

A fundraiser has already collected more than $17,000 to pay for Murzakov’s body to be shipped back to his homeland, without detailing where that is.

The fundraiser mentions that the family’s “greatest wish is to bring their loved one back to his homeland and lay him to rest with dignity and tradition,” referring to the married father.

The cab had no trailer attached at the time and was registered in West Chester Township, Ohio, Delaware Public Media reported.

Water and tide conditions meant that Murzakov’s body and the trailer weren’t recovered until shortly after 11 a.m. on Saturday, some 20 feet below the water, the DRBA said.

A crane and barge from the Bridge Ship Collision Protection construction project provided support to the Delaware State Police Marine dive unit, Holloway Terrace Fire Company, and other recovery groups.
