A woman was killed in a fiery crash on I-95 in New York early Tuesday after her vehicle was sandwiched between two tractor trailers, according to police and local reports.

The accident happened just after 12:30 a.m. on the Cross Bronx Expressway near Exit 1A/Major Deegan in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx, FOX5 New York reported, citing the NYPD.
