A 32-year-old man crossing a Freeport street died Wednesday after being struck by two separate vehicles — and only the first driver remained with him, Nassau police said.
The victim, whose identity was not released, was first hit on Henry Street around 6:20 p.m. by a 67-year-old man driving south in a 2013 Chevrolet SUV, police said in a news release.
"While the victim was laying in the street, he was struck again by a sedan also heading southbound," police said.
Police said the second motorist initially stopped — and then drove off.
The victim was pronounced at a hospital at 6:42 p.m.
