A woman died on Sunday afternoon after the driver of the car she was in hit a parked car in Jackson Heights.

The 86-year-old driver of a 2006 Toyota Corolla was traveling westbound on 34th Avenue and 91st Street at approximately 2:17 p.m. when it struck an unoccupied 2016 Chevrolet, police said. Amy Huang, 83, of 73rd Street in Jackson Heights was in the passenger seat.
