A tragic accident on the Palisades Interstate Parkway Motzei Shabbos claimed the life of a woman after she was struck by multiple vehicles in Clarkstown.

The incident occurred just after 6 p.m. in the northbound lanes near Exit 9, when New York State Police say the woman was walking in the roadway. She was first struck by a Honda Odyssey and was then hit by a second vehicle, a Mini Cooper, moments later.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene and provided lifesaving care before transporting the woman to Nyack Hospital in critical condition. Despite efforts to save her, she was later pronounced deceased. Her identity has not yet been released.

State Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and are asking anyone who may have witnessed what happened to contact the Haverstraw Bureau of Criminal Investigation at 845-344-5300.
