A woman was killed and a man sent to the hospital in critical condition after they were struck by a car on the Cross Bronx Expressway early Sunday morning, police said.
The woman, 19, and the man, 20, were traveling togther in a 2002 Chevy Venture and were westbound on the Cross Bronx Expressway when they got into an accident near exit 5A just before 6 a.m., according to police.
The woman and the man had stepped out of their car to examine the damage in the multi-vehicle crash when a separate car came toward them and hit the two, sending them over the jersey barrier and 75 feet to the ground below.
Additional emergency responders were called to that accident, at the intersection of Bruckner Boulevard and Brush Avenue, and took both victims to Jacobi Hospital.
The woman was pronounced dead, and the man was in critical condition.
Police have not released the identities of the victims. Investigation is ongoing.
