One person was killed and three others were hospitalized when a car crashed into a pole on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn early Monday, according to the NYPD. The driver was dead on the scene of the 1:15 a.m. accident on the Erskine St. exit ramp in the Spring Creek area, police said.

First responders rushed the car’s three passengers to Brookdale Hospital, where one was in critical condition, according to cops.

NYPD officials didn’t identify any of the four victims of the single-car accident early Monday morning. Investigators examined the scene overnight.

Photos from the site near the Gateway Center shopping complex show firefighters prying a man’s body from the driver’s seat of a Nissan sedan and administering aid to a female passenger on a stretcher.

A speeding 27-year-old driver died elsewhere on the parkway in November when his car careened over a guardrail and off the highway in Canarsie.
