Matthew Johnson was driving a blue Chevrolet Cavalier on Little River Gorge Road toward Gatlinburg when he failed to negotiate a right-hand curve when he left the pavement on the north side of the road, according to a press release from Nancy Gray, Park spokeswoman.
After leaving the road, the car plunged 25 feet and into the river.
The car flipped and landed on its roof and was almost fully submerged in the river except for its rear tires, Gray said.
There were no skid marks on the road.
The victim's body was still inside the vehicle when emergency personnel arrived.
A passing motorist notified National Park Service personnel at 8 a.m. Monday after seeing the car on its top and submerged in the water in an area known as the Elbow section of the river, one mile east of Indian Head Rock. While the exact time of the accident is unknown, authorities believe it occurred during the middle of the night.
The fatal accident occurred in Blount County, about two miles from the Sevier County line.
The mangled vehicle, with the body still inside, was pulled out of the water onto the road at 9:30 a.m. by a wrecker from Butler's Wrecker Service, Walland.
Little River was blocked between the Townsend Y and Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area to all but emergency vehicles from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The Blount Sheriff's Office Rescue Team responded and a swift-water rescue was undertaken.
The body was transported to Blount Memorial Hospital by Rural/Metro Ambulance Service. Also on hand were personnel from the Townsend Fire Department and a Maryville firefighter who is part of the dive team.
