NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A woman was killed early Saturday in an accident between two motorcycles on the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge.
The crash happened around 3:20 a.m. on the Manhattan-bound, lower level of the bridge.

The three other people involved in the crash were taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Jeremy Perez, 28, of Rosedale Avenue, Bronx, was arrested and charged with driving while ability impaired.
