Fair Lawn Woman Killed In Head-On Crash In NYC

FAIR LAWN, N.J. — A 54-year-old Fair Lawn woman died from injuries she sustained when the car she was riding in was hit by a minivan going the wrong way on the Henry Hudson Parkway in Manhattan, authorities said Wednesday.

A New York City Police Department spokesman said Olga Ilina was pronounced dead when she arrived at St. Luke's Hospital in Manhattan after the 11:38 p.m. crash Tuesday night.

Ilina was a passenger in a 2008 Subaru heading south on the parkway when a 2003 Dodge minivan going north against traffic crashed into it at West 79th Street, the spokesman said.

Police said the minivan appears to have been stolen. Charges had not been filed in the matter as of Wednesday night as the investigation was continuing.

The driver of the Dodge minivan, a 23-year-old Manhattan resident, the 34-year-old passenger, and the 53-year-old Subaru driver were all taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. 

Authorities did not release the names of the people injured in the crash because the matter was still being investigated.
