A woman died after jumping out of the back seat of a moving car Saturday morning in Queens on the Long Island Expressway, according to police.

Law enforcement sources said the 32-year-old had been driving eastbound in the back of an Uber when she jumped out of the car near the Kissena Boulevard bridge around 10 p.m. 01.40.

At least oncoming traffic hit the woman and did not stay at the scene, according to the police. However, the driver of the wheelchair held on and cooperated with the police.

Investigators were working to determine what caused the woman to jump out of the moving car. There was no one else inside the Uber apart from the woman and the driver, the police said.

The woman’s identity had not been released late Saturday.

Several lanes of the highway from Main Street and Kissena Boulevard were closed for several hours Saturday morning.
