Kelly Gordon of New Jersey died on Thursday night after getting hit by two cabs on the Upper East Side.
Gordon, 22, of Brielle, New Jersey, was crossing York Avenue just south of East 85th Street at 11:28 p.m.
A southbound yellow cab hit her and threw her into the opposite lane, where she was then hit by another cab.
“We ran over right after the accident. She looked horrible, there was blood coming from her nose, you could tell she wasn’t going to make it,” a man who works nearby told the New York Daily News.
“Her purse was on one side of the street, her shoe was on the other...I grabbed a flashlight and started to direct traffic.”
Gordon was with her sister and a male friend, who told police that Gordon was staying with her sister in the city while going on job interviews.
Gordon died at the hospital.
Neither cab driver was charged with a crime.
