A woman died and four people were taken to area hospitals in serious and critical conditions Tuesday after a multi-vehicle crash on the northbound Tappan Zee Bridge, officials said.

State police in Albany said the accident may have been caused by a wrong-way driver.

The woman, who was driving one of the vehicles, was pronounced dead at the scene, said Ray Florida, executive director of Rockland Paramedic Services. A man who was a passenger in the vehicle had to be extricated by emergency workers and taken to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.

Two other women — one sent to Nyack Hospital and the other to the medical center — and another man, sent to Nyack, also had to be pulled from the wreckage, Florida said.
