A Bay Shore man was killed when he lost control of his
motorcycle and hit a utility pole on the Long Island Expressway service road in Ronkonkoma, Suffolk police said yesterday.
Scott Crandall, 19, was riding a 2006 Suzuki 1000 motorcycle east on the Long Island Expressway at 10:02 p.m. Sunday when he exited at Exit 60, Ronkonkoma Avenue. There, police said, he apparently lost control of the motorcycle and hit the pole.
Crandall was taken to Stony Brook University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Suffolk County Police Highway Patrol Officer Glen Ritchie was on stationary patrol at Exit 59 and saw five motorcycles going east at a high rate of speed moments before the crash.
Anyone who may have witnessed this crash is asked to call Fourth Squad detectives at 631-854-8452. The investigation is continuing.
