Seaford man, 102, dies from injuries sustained in crash, police say
A 102-year-old man from Seaford has died from his injuries a week after a crash with a Nassau police vehicle in Massapequa, authorities said Friday.
Police on Friday identified the man as Morris Sprachman.
On Dec. 9 at 8:23 a.m., a marked Nassau police vehicle was traveling southbound on Hicksville Road while responding to an emergency call, police said, when Sprachman, driving a 2012 Hyundai Elantra northbound, attempted to make a left-hand turn onto North Suffolk Avenue.
The drivers of both vehicles were taken to area hospitals by Nassau County police medics.
The investigation is ongoing.
