A woman was ejected from a speeding car this morning after the driver lost control and crashed into a barrier near the Williamsburg Bridge, authorities said.

A 23-year-old woman was allegedly drunk behind the wheel of a 2003 Nissan Altima when she was heading into Brooklyn over the bridge around 4:05 a.m., police sources said.

She hit a metal divider on the passenger’s side when she was making a turn near the ramp to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway — ejecting the back seat passenger, police said.

The victim landed on the roadway as the car spun out of control into oncoming traffic, police said.

The driver then pulled the car off of the highway and parked on Roebling and South Fourth Streets, police said.

The ejected passenger died at the scene. The driver, along with three other passengers, were all taken to Bellevue Hospital where they are in stable condition.

Charges against the driver are pending, police said.
