A 40-year-old woman died Friday after losing control of her SUV and crashing into a backyard swimming pool on Long Island, according to police.
The deadly crash happened in Hewlett, a community in Nassau County, after the woman’s 2023 GMC SUV reportedly veered out of control and left a trail of destruction behind it.
Authorities said the vehicle struck a tree and then slammed into a parked car before continuing onto a residential property on Elinor Road near Woodside Drive.
The SUV ultimately plunged into a backyard swimming pool.
Police have not publicly identified the driver.
Authorities believe the woman had already been removed from the SUV by the time emergency crews arrived at the home, although officials have not said who pulled her from the vehicle.
Nassau County police officers immediately began performing life-saving measures.
The woman was then rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Investigators have not said where she was headed before the SUV suddenly began careening out of control or what may have caused her to lose control of the vehicle.
Her official cause of death has also not yet been released.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the bizarre and deadly crash.
