A 31-year-old Brooklyn woman died when her motorcycle crashed into a car on a Southern State Parkway exit ramp in Valley Stream over the weekend.

New York State police said Antionette Phillips was riding a Kawasaki eastbound when she attempted to pass traffic by entering the exit ramp for Corona Avenue, struck a Honda Odyssey and was ejected from the motorcycle at 7:33 p.m. Saturday.

Phillips was taken to Franklin General Hospital, where she died shortly later.

State Police found no criminality involved but ask anyone that witnessed this crash to call them 631-756-3300. All calls will remain confidential.
