Neighbors of Fort Lee Woman Who Died After GWB Closures Delayed Emergency Response Speak [View all]
Source: NJ.Com
Neighbors described the 91-year-old Fort Lee woman who lay unconscious as lane closures at the George Washington Bridge delayed first responders from attending to her as a private, as a religious person.
A letter from the borough's EMS coordinator to the mayor said, in at least four instances, that emergency officials were snarled by traffic in responding to calls, including to one on Harvard Place involving an elderly woman who later died.
The woman was later pronounced dead at Englewood Hospital. Favia did not attribute her death to traffic, but, he wrote, "I would also like it to be noted that paramedics were delayed due to heavy traffic on Fort Lee Road."
Neighbors identified that woman as Florence Genova, a widow with two children who lived out of state.
