A 32-year-old woman died after jumping from a moving Uber on a busy New York City freeway in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Priyanka Sewhani rolled to her death from the back seat of a 2019 Volkswagen Passat traveling eastbound on the Long Island Expressway around 1:40 a.m.
Police said a 45-year-old man was driving the Uber, and a second vehicle traveling eastbound “unknowingly struck” Sewhani after she fell and “did not remain at the scene.”
The NYPD told DailyMail.com that officers have not yet discovered the reason for the jump. ‘The investigation is ongoing. “No arrests have been made,” a spokesman said.
Medics responded and pronounced Sewhani, of Westview Drive in Oyster Bay, Long Island, dead on the highway.

It comes after a YouTuber who posts videos reaching top speeds in his BMW X5 died earlier this month after his car rolled over in a new york city road.
Andre Beadle, known online as 1Stockf30, died Nov. 5 when his car collided with an Acura and overturned on a Queens highway outside JFK airport.
Beadle, 25, of the Bronx, was driving “at a high rate of speed” when he lost control of the vehicle, left the road and crashed, the NYPD told DailyMail.com.
He was thrown from the luxury vehicle and first responders found his body on the ground. He was taken to a nearby hospital, but they could not save him.
Beadle’s 21-year-old passenger was injured but survived. The driver of the Acura was not injured in the incident.
The crash remains under investigation, but witnesses say it occurred during a street race. The mirror reported.
A balloon launch tribute to the automotive influencer will be held Friday afternoon in a Bronx park.
A 20-minute video was posted to Beadle’s YouTube channel showing him and his friends working on the purple BMW just hours before the tragic accident.
