A woman died
after crashing into several parked and moving cars on a New York City street
Monday in a dramatic impact captured on video.
Police told
WNBC-TV the 65-year-old woman was driving down a road in the Bronx at a high
rate of speed when she hit two parked, unoccupied vehicles
The impact
of the crash, captured on surveillance video obtained by WNBC, pushed an SUV
onto the sidewalk and sent pieces of another vehicle flying through the air.
The vehicle
continued down the road, hitting two other cars before coming to a rest on its
side after crashing into a landscaping truck.
Firefighters
had to free the driver from the wrecked SUV, but she was later pronounced dead
at the hospital. A law enforcement source told WNBC police are investigating
whether the driver was suffering from a medical condition.
A mother and
son in one of the vehicles that were struck said everything happened quickly.
"The
light was green and we were coming, all of a sudden something went 'bang' and
knocked us over to the other lane," Sheila Davis said. "They were
saying 'get out the car, get out the car.' So we ran out the car."
