Kenneth Young, of Brooklyn, killed in Thursday morning crash on LIE, police say

A Brooklyn man was killed in a multi-vehicle crash on the Long Island Expressway Thursday morning that caused traffic to be rerouted between exits 39 and 41, Nassau County police said.

Kenneth Young, 49, was driving a 2012 Chevy Suburban east in the right lane of the LIE at Exit 40 at 3:06 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle and it overturned, police said. The Suburban hit a 2023 Dodge delivery van that was pulled over on the side of the road. Moments later, a 2019 Freightliner truck hit the Suburban.

Nassau police medics pronounced Young dead at the scene. 

No other injuries were reported, and the investigation is continuing.
