A woman died in the Bronx after a driver smashed into the car she was riding in, and a pedestrian was struck and killed by a driver in Brooklyn hours apart early Saturday, cops said.

In the first incident, a 43-year-old man driving a 2011 Lincoln MKX was heading north on Castle Hill Ave. when he struck a 2017 Infiniti QX60 going west on Randall Ave. in Castle Hill at about 12:50 a.m., cops said.

The impact sent the Infiniti, driven by a 27-year-old man, careening in a northwest direction before it struck a parked, unoccupied 2018 Honda Pilot.
