Crash on Southern State Parkway kills driver

A motorist was killed early Wednesday morning in a one-car crash that shut down all eastbound lanes on the Southern State Parkway at Exit 14 in North Valley Stream, police said.

The car rolled over about 5 a.m. near the exit for North Fletcher Avenue, killing the driver, whose identity was not available Wednesday evening, State Police said. Police investigating the cause of the crash said no one else was injured.

The lanes were reopened by about 6:45 a.m., according to the state Department of Transportation.

Traffic had also been backed up on the westbound side a few miles to Exit 17 for Hempstead Avenue in the Lakeview area, the transportation department said.
