At least one person died Monday after a blast of wintry weather caused dangerous conditions on city roads.
Seven others were injured, the New York Post reported.
A 27-year-old man died about 7:15 p.m. when he lost control of his 2007 Nissan Murano and struck a tree, police said. He was driving eastbound on Francis Lewis Boulevard in the Cambria Heights section of Queens. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident is believed to have been caused by the weather, the Post reports.
A three-car pileup in the Bronx injured another seven people. The accident occurred on the 145th Street bridge by Harlem River Drive in the Bronx about 6:40 p.m. The injuries were not life-threatening.
