Fatal crash involving Suffolk County bus in Amityville crash Friday

Amityville and Suffolk police and other emergency personnel responded to a fatal crash involving a Suffolk County Transit bus Friday evening.

Around two dozen first responders, including members of the Amityville and North Amityville fire departments, were near the Suffolk County Transit bus that remained angled in the intersection of Broadway and Oak Street.

The village's Facebook account said police were investigating "a fatal car accident" near the intersection but provided no other details. 

An Amityville police detective declined to detail the nature of the crash to a reporter at the scene late Friday. A Suffolk County police spokesperson could not provide additional information.

Around 8:55 p.m. Amityville police officers were requesting the dozen or so bystanders that lined Oak Street move farther away from the scene, and roped off a larger area with police tape.

Firefighters were onboard the empty bus, seemingly examining it. Also at the scene was a vehicle with the Suffolk police Emergency Services Unit. That unit "consists of specially trained officers who engage in both high-risk and highly technical operations," according to the department's website.

By 9:20, the fire departments and the Suffolk Emergency Services unit had left the scene. But a Suffolk police Crime Scene Section vehicle pulled up around 9:30 p.m.
