A female driver died in a chain reaction crash involving several vehicles on the Long Island Expressway, Newsday reports. The automobile crash was reportedly triggered by a driver who swerved as he changed lanes.

Police said George Spinelli, who was driving a Ford van west on the expressway near exit 49, moved from the right to the center lane and then moved back to the right as another vehicle moved to the center lane. As Spinelli swerved, he crashed into a Honda CR-V driven by Ligia Gomez of North Babylon. Gomez then slammed into a Saturn sedan driven by another woman, who suffered the fatal injuries in this auto accident.
