An elderly New York woman was killed in a crash on Interstate 95 in Greenwich where she lost control of her vehicle and struck two motorists, causing her car to roll onto its side.
Jill Newmark Haskel, 89, of Rye, New York was pronounced dead at Greenwich Hospital Monday following the three-car crash in the area of Exit 3 around 4:45 p.m., according to Connecticut State Police.
As she drove a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek in the left lane on I-95 South, Haskel crossed into the center lane and struck the rear driver side of a 2024 Porsche Macan that was traveling ahead of her in the center lane, state police said. The Subaru then spun clockwise and rolled onto the rear of a Mazda 3 that was in the left lane, according to state police.
The Subaru slid along the highway on its side before settling in the left lane still on its driver side, state police said.
The Mazda stopped in the left lane while the Porsche came to rest in the right shoulder. Neither driver reported any injuries, according to state police.
All three vehicles needed to be towed.
The State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad responded to the scene to investigate. The crash remains under investigation.
