Police identified the victim as Casie Mclean, 32, of Rockwell Avenue, Rosebank.
The fatal crash happened on Amboy Road near Cranford Street at around 1:20 a.m., police said.

Officers arrived to the scene and found the victim pinned in her car, and unconscious and unresponsive with severe body trauma, police said.
EMS transported Mclean to Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, where she was pronounced dead.
An NYPD spokesman could not immediately provide any additional information on the crash.
