The passenger, Shawnique Hills, 41, was transported to a nearby hospital where she died.

According to the Daily News, Allen was wanted in New Jersey for violating her probation from a fraud case. She was charged last Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court with vehicular manslaughter, unlawful fleeing police and reckless driving.
