A woman was killed when her car was swept away by floodwaters in Pennsylvania as Tropical Storm Isaias raged, according to a new report.
The 44-year-old victim was driving when she passed through high waters on North Main Street in Upper Saucon Township, a suburb of Allentown, Tuesday, the Lehigh County coroner’s office told WFMZ-TV.
Her vehicle was swept away by floodwaters from a small trout stream known as Laurel Run.
She was pronounced dead shortly before 4:30 p.m.
Her name has been withheld pending family notification.
The Upper Saucon Township Police Department, as well as the coroner’s office, are investigating.
New York City saw one storm related death — Mario Siles, 60, was pinned when a tree crashed onto his 2014 Dodge van around 1 p.m. Tuesday on 84th Drive near Smedley Avenue in Briarwood, Queens.
