«The scene is fatal for two people crash on the George Washington bridge on Wednesday evening. 30-year-old driver and 5-year-old passenger of the SUV died.»
Behind the wheel of the crossover was sitting Hector Pedercini, and apart from him and Marianne, in the car were three more people: one-year girl and two women forty and sixty years. They all, presumably, are members of the same family, living in Howell township, new Jersey.
There is a version that the family was returning home after a new York party, because in the cabin of the crossover were balloons.
The truck driver, 59-year-old man, was not injured.
To a scene promptly there arrived the staff of law enforcement bodies and all the injured were taken to Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital. Doctors announced that Hector and Marianne are dead, and as two women and a child, though heavy, but stable.
For several hours, all lanes of the upper tier in the direction of in new Jersey remained closed. Around 02:30 they again become available for movement.
