Suffolk County Police First Squad detectives are investigating a motor vehicle crash that killed a Riverhead woman.
A 37 year old man of Brentwood was driving a 2006 Toyota Tacoma westbound on Sunrise Highway, near Hubbard’s Path in West Babylon, when he apparently lost control of his vehicle over a patch of ice and struck a guardrail. The man got out of his vehicle to inspect the damage when his Tacoma was struck by a 2008 Honda Civic. The driver of the Civic apparently lost control of her vehicle which spun out of control and struck the rear of the Toyota.
The Civic's driver was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Medical Examiner.
The driver of the Tacoma and his passengers were transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
