The woman in the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene of the truck accident.

Two people jumped into action after the crash, hoping to dig through the pile of sand covering the woman's SUV. Witnesses to the scene say the two Good Samaritans frantically shoveled sand away from the accident victim's vehicle. The witnesses say the two people screamed to see if they could get any response from occupants of the SUV as the two moved sand away from the buried vehicle.

A Hackensack heavy highway and bridge construction company has received a number of citations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, according to the Labor Department agency. OSHA investigators cited the construction company after an investigation into the Route 3 Passaic River Bridge Project.

OSHA inspectors say they found seven serious violations at the construction project. Serious violations in OSHA parlance are those that expose construction workers to hazards that pose a substantial probability of "death or severe physical harm," that the employer knew existed, or should have been aware that the safety hazard existed at the construction site.
