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

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.

    • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.
