A 20-year-old driver was killed – and one of her passengers left clinging to life – when she crashed her car into a city Department of Environmental Protection truck on the Belt Parkway early Monday, cops said. 

The woman was driving a Black Infiniti west on the highway near Rockaway Parkway in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn around 12:30 a.m. when she rammed into the DEP truck – causing her car to flip, police said. 

She was taken to Brookdale University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, cops said.
