Daniela Abreu was sitting between friends in the backseat of a 2012 Dodge Challenger 300 when its 30-year-old driver lost control and slammed into a concrete pillar on the Major Deegan Expressway about 12:15 a.m., police sources and the relative said.
“We just heard about the crash this morning,†the girl’s cousin, Jonathan Ruiz, told the Daily News. “We just heard that she passed. We’re destroyed. We’re still shaking.â€
Her unborn baby also died, Ruiz said.
Abreu, of Washington Heights, was one of five people in the car when Eduardo Nunez began driving erratically on I-87 near the Cross Bronx Expressway and crashed, police sources said.
Nunez was killed in the collision, along with Jose Henriquez, 22, who was sitting in the backseat next to Abreu, the sources said.
Raymond Batista, 21, who was the front passenger and Garcia Abel, 18, who was sitting behind the driver, were taken with Abreu to St. Barnabas Hospital, sources said.
All three were listed in critical condition, but Abreu — the youngest of three sisters — later died.
“She was a good girl,†said Ruiz, noting that his cousin was expecting the baby in the next two weeks. “She was a fun girl to be around. She was a really fun, outgoing person.â€
Police blocked traffic for several hours to investigate the crash. The cause was still not clear.
