Woman fatally struck by car after ride breaks down in NYC

A woman was struck by at least one car and killed after her own ride broke down on a Bronx expressway early Wednesday, cops said.

Shannon Campbell, 27, was riding as a passenger inside a vehicle when it became disabled and stopped within the painted median which separates the left lane from the center and right lanes of the eastbound Bruckner Expressway just before 3 a.m., authorities said.

She got out of the broken-down car and walked into the right lane of the expressway, near Barretto Street, when she was struck by a 2019 Toyota Camry driven by a 61-year-old man, cops said.

The impact threw Campbell in a northbound direction and into the center lane, authorities said.

Cops were probing whether she was struck by a second car that fled the scene.

Campbell was found lying unconscious and unresponsive in the roadway, with severe body trauma, cops said.

She was pronounced dead on scene by EMS.
