A cop was killed in a car crash on the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge exit ramp in Queens early Tuesday — the same spot where four motorists were seriously injured and a pedestrian killed two years ago.
The officer, who police sources said was assigned to the 17th Precinct in Midtown, was coming off the exit ramp in Long Island City in a 2004 Ford Focus just before 2 a.m. when she struck a guard rail on the driver’s side.
The force of the impact sent her careening into a cement barrier on the passenger side, officials said. The car flipped over and crashed into a vacant storefront on Queens Plaza South near Crescent St.
The woman died at the scene, officials said. Her name was not immediately released.
