Fort Lee, NJ : Man killed after hit-and-run truck driver slams into his car on George Washington Bridge early Monday, March 27, 2017

A drunken tractor-trailer driver smashed into a car on the George Washington Bridge early Monday — killing a 25-year-old man and critically injuring the victim’s two passengers, officials said.

Then, police said, he fled.

Port Authority cops caught up with Simranjeet Singh Sandhu, 23, and his badly damaged Volvo truck, at the Vince Lombardi Service Area off the New Jersey Turnpike in Ridgefield, 10 miles from the crash scene. He’s charged with driving while intoxicated, but will likely face more serious charges from the NYPD, Port Authority police said.

Sandhu was headed west on the Cross Bronx Expressway at about 2:30 a.m., toward the bridge’s lower level, when he slammed into a 1997 Toyota sedan, leaving it a mangled wreck, cops said.

Medics rushed the Toyota’s driver to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia, where he died. The passengers, both women, ages 28 and 39, went to Harlem Hospital in critical condition.

Sandhu, of Durham, N.C., had a blood-alcohol level of 0.06% — above the 0.04% limit for driving a commercial vehicle, Port Authority cops said.
