NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 19-year-old woman was arrested and charged with drunk driving for a Manhattan crash that killed an 18-year-old woman and injured three other young women, the NYPD said Friday.
Stephanie Jaramillo, 19, of Queens, was speeding east on the Trans-Manhattan Expressway, near West 175th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday when she lost control of the car and hit a guardrail, police said.
The impact flipped the car onto its roof, the NYPD said. One of Jaramillo's passengers, an 18-year-old woman, suffered severe body trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Jaramillo and her three other passengers — two 19-year-old women and a 20-year-old woman — were taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem, where they were listed in stable condition, the NYPD said.
Jaramillo has been arrested and charged with manslaughter, vehicle manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, aggravated vehicle homicide and driving while intoxicated, police said. Her attorney information wasn't immediately available Friday.
Police didn't immediately release the name of the 18-year-old woman who died. An investigation is ongoing.
