A 37-year-old woman was killed early Friday when she lost control of her Hyundai sedan on Great Neck Road, police said.
The woman, whose name was being withheld until her family is notified, died when her car hit a curb and slammed into a utility pole at the intersection of Great Neck and Wolfsnare roads around 1:30 a.m.
Police said alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
The woman was wearing a seat belt and the car's airbag deployed, but the brunt of the impact was taken on the driver's-side door, police said.
