PASSAIC COUNTY, NJ — A 46-year-old Kearny woman was identified as the driver who died last Thursday after a chain-reaction crash on the Passaic River Bridge, reports Daily Voice.
The fatal accident occurred on the westbound lanes of New Jersey Route 3 on December 15, just before 5:00 a.m.
According to investigators, the woman was driving a Subaru Impreza westbound when the vehicle hit a BMW X3 that was stopped on the roadway after becoming disabled. Moments later, the Impreza was broadside by a Toyota Prius.
Fire crews worked to extricate the driver of the Impreza before she was rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center, where she was later pronounced deceased.
