Suffolk County Police First Squad detectives are investigating a three-car-crash that killed a 51-year-old Massapequa man.
A 49 year old male, of North Lindenhurst, was driving a 2004 Chevy Impala southbound on Lamar Street when he attempted to make a left turn onto eastbound Edison Avenue. The Impala struck the passenger side of a 2002 Toyota Avalon that was traveling westbound on Edison Avenue. The Avalon, driven by a 51 year old male, of 4 McKinley Place, Massapequa, spun into eastbound traffic on Edison Avenue where it was then struck on the driver’s side by a 2000 Dodge Intrepid.
The Avalon driver was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner. The Impala driver was transported to Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Islip, where he was being treated for neck pain. The driver of the Intrepid and his passenger were transported to Nassau University Medical Center where they were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
