By Y.M. Lowy

A 24 year old woman was killed Sunday afternoon when her car veered off the Thruway and crashed into a tree in Ramapo.

It happened on the southbound side of I-87, near exit 14A. The driver was heading south in a 2016 Honda Civic when the vehicle suddenly left the road, struck the shoulder, and hit a tree with force.

Emergency responders arrived quickly and provided care at the scene. The driver was taken to Nyack Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. Traffic was slowed in the area as crews worked to clear the scene.
