NEW YORK — A 25-year-old woman riding in the back seat of a speeding car was killed when the driver crashed into a chain-link fence just outside John F. Kennedy International Airport and a pole crashed through the windshield, impaling them both, police said Monday.
The driver was speeding in a Honda Accord when he lost control, vaulted the sidewalk and crashed into the fence near Rockaway and Brookville boulevards about 11:20 p.m. Sunday, cops said.
The pole slammed through the windshield and pierced the driver’s chest before impaling the back-seat passenger.
