Four Killed After a Wrong-Way Driver Hits a SUV on Long Island Highway

Four people died in an accident when a wrong-way driver crashed directly into an SUV. The crash happened on Tuesday morning in the darkness of a Long Island highway, according to the state police.

The wandering driver entered the Southern State Parkway about a mile from the North Massapequa wreck. He was killed along with three people in the SUV in the accident that occurred shortly after 5 a.m., the New York State Police informs.

All four were pronounced dead at the scene.

The officers received several calls reporting the 1998 Toyota Camry driving in the wrong way. Five state troopers were unable to reach the runaway vehicle before it hit an oncoming 2011 Nissan Rogue just one minute later,  Troop L Acting Cmdr. George Mohl said.

The sixty-seven-year-old SUV driver and two female passengers (one aged 57 and the other 34), were killed. All three victims were from Hempstead and were going to work in Farmingdale, where the wrong-way driver lived, police said.

The only survivor in the SUV was sitting in the front passenger seat, but was in severe condition and transported at Nassau University Medical Center.

Being involved in an accident with severe injuries or fatal outcomes is a hard experience for both victims and the family of the person who died. Facing the challenge of recovery, lost wages, high medical fees, and other accident-related expenses can be difficult.

If you were recently injured in an accident (no matter whose fault it was) you should seek a car accident attorney as soon as possible. You would need strong support when seeking your compensation claim.

The insurance company would make sure to offer a lower settlement or even deny it. Your attorney won’t let that happen.

If you have any questions, call our office. We offer you a free case evaluation.

    • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
