According to police officials, a 32-year-old woman died after choosing to jump from a moving ridesharing car on the Long Island Expressway in Queens, which resulted in her being hit by at least one other vehicle. Around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, the event happened close to the Kissena Boulevard overpass.
The victim, who was in the backseat of an Uber when she abruptly opened the door and sprang onto the busy motorway, was identified by police as Priyanka Sewhani. According to ABC 7 New York, the Uber driver remained at the scene and is assisting authorities in their investigation into her death, however it is unclear how many other vehicles were involved or why she jumped.
The police investigation into what caused Sewhani to jump is still ongoing, according to NBC New York. It has been confirmed that Sewhani and the driver were the only passengers in the car at the time of the incident; the driver of the car that hit her did not stay on the scene.
Morning commuters experienced traffic delays as a result of the death, which forced the closure of multiple lanes on the freeway for hours. The Uber driver’s assistance may be crucial to the police’s understanding of what transpired, despite their limited knowledge.
