A woman jumped from a pedestrian walkway over the FDR Drive on the Upper East Side last night and landed on a car traveling northbound, police said.
The 56-year-old jumped at 8:50 p.m. from a bridge that connects East 81st Street and the East River Esplanade.
The woman landed on the windshield of a silver Honda Accord, killing her instantly, according to authorities.
The stunned driver continued to the 96th Street exit before stopping.
The incident brought traffic to a standstill for hours on the northbound side of the highway as police investigated the incident.
Police said criminality is not suspected.
