Daniella Gore-Johnson of Yonkers was killed around 12:18 a.m., during a collision on the southbound Saw Mill River Parkway in Hastings-on-Hudson, said Kieran O'Leary, spokesman for the Westchester County Police.
A preliminary investigation indicates that a 2012 Honda Accord was struck in the rear by a 2017 Lexus RC 350 sedan.
The collision sent the Honda off the roadway, causing it to strike a tree. The driver of the Honda, Gore-Johnson, was pronounced dead at the scene, O'Leary said.
The driver of the Lexus, a 36-year-old Yonkers woman, was seriously injured and remains hospitalized at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.
