A Lindenhurst woman driving in West Babylon Monday afternoon was killed after an oncoming Jeep struck her SUV as she attempted a left turn, Suffolk police said.
Kimberly Pigott, 31, was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip after the crash about 4:20 p.m., according to police.
She had been driving a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer west on Route 109 when she tried to make a left turn onto Herzel Boulevard and was struck on the passenger side by an eastbound 2020, police said in a news release.
