A woman is in critical condition after the car she was riding in crashed in Brooklyn, authorities said.
The 33-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, was riding in the passenger seat of a 1999 Lexus going westbound on Atlantic Avenue, near Pennsylvania Avenue, in East New York, around 3 a.m., Sunday, police said.
The Lexus turned left and hit a 1997 Volkswagon that was moving east on Atlantic Avenue, cops added.
The Lexus spun out of control and hit a light-pole on the northwest corner of the intersection, seriously injuring the passenger, police said.
The woman was taken to Brookdale Hospital, along with the 31-year-old man who was driving. He was listed in stable condition, according to police.
The driver and passengers in the Volkswagon refused medical attention at the scene, officials said.
It’s not clear whether alcohol or speed played a role in the crash, police said.
