A woman driving on the Henry Hudson Parkway died after a crash near the Moshulu Parkway. Police believe that 34 year old Lusaed Perez lost control of the car as she was putting on her makeup. A police source said, "There was makeup all over the air bag," plus there were open containers of makeup in the car. The Post says Perez's Mitsubishi "careened across an embankment, smashed into a lamppost then crashed into two trees."
Witnesses also said they saw her putting on makeup, but her friend told the Daily News, "She doesn't even really wear makeup. Just when she goes to church, or for a special occasion."
