Nassau police said an 84-year-old woman was killed in a three-car crash in Westbury on Thursday morning after the car she was riding in was struck at an intersection.

The woman was taken to Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, where she was pronounced dead at 12:14 p.m.
The drivers were treated at hospitals for minor injuries, police said, and two of the vehicles were impounded for safety and brake checks.
