BROOKLYN (WABC) — A woman’s body was found in a car after a fiery crash on the Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn Friday morning, and authorities say the driver — believed to be a man she was dating — hailed a cab in the middle of the highway while she burned to death.

The car was found facing eastbound in the westbound lanes between Hamilton Avenue and Prospect Expressway just after 4 a.m.

The 2007 Infiniti G35 was fully on fire.

When firefighters put out the flames, they found a badly burned woman in the passenger seat. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

She was later identified as 25-year-old Harleen Grewel, of Astoria.
