Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Third Squad detectives are looking for the driver of a dark-colored sedan who fled a fatal hit-and-run accident in Brentwood earlier this month, police said.
A man was walking across Suffolk Avenue east of Eastern Avenue when he was hit by a 1989 Nissan driven by an 18 year old, of Bay Shore.
A second vehicle swerved to avoid hitting the victim, then stopped. The man was then hit by a third vehicle -- a dark-colored sedan that left the scene, police said.
Police said the victim was injured though apparently alive after he was hit by the Nissan, but he was killed when the sedan hit him.
The man was taken by Brentwood Legion Ambulance to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, where he was pronounced dead.
The sedan that fled the scene was driven by a woman and the New York license plate on the car was a newer one with blue lettering on an orange background, police said.
