One person has died following a car accident on the Sprain Brook Parkway. State police say the car was traveling in the southbound lane and ended up in the reservoir. There is no word yet on how the crash occurred.

A faulty battery may have been the cause of a fatal car fire on the Palisades Parkway. Police initially thought the crash was weather related, but Nanuet Fire Department investigators say the battery of the Tesla Model S ruptured. That battery spans the entire length and width of the car floor. Firefighters say the battery's size made it extremely difficult to put out the flames. The driver of the vehicle, Jyung Hahn, 46, from Cresskill, NJ, died in the crash.
