Korin Irvine, 46, of Valley Cottage, New York, died following a roadway encounter on the George Washington Bridge on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
Port Authority officers responded at approximately 7:06 p.m. after receiving a crash report from the bridge’s westbound upper level toward New Jersey.
Officers found Irvine with a gunshot injury and arranged transportation to Englewood Medical Center, where New York City police later confirmed the death.
Irvine, an off-duty Con Edison worker, had been driving a Volkswagen from Manhattan toward New Jersey when a collision with another vehicle reportedly occurred.
