One person is dead and two others are hospitalized after a fiery crash in Mamaroneck.

Police say two officers were making a traffic stop when they saw a car speed by them, slam into a pole, and bursts into flames around 2:30 a.m. Sunday on West Boston Post Road.

They say the person who died was thrown from the vehicle. Two other people were trapped in the car, and the officers, along with additional police and fire support, saved the victims from the burning car.

The two were taken to Jacobi Medical Center in seriously injured. 

In a statement the Mamaroneck PBA says, “If it wasn’t for the heroic efforts of these officers, the occupants most likely would have not survived.”
