Two pedestrians struck, one fatally, by two vehicles, including a Suffolk County bus, in Amityville on Friday

Two cousins were struck — one fatally — by different drivers, one after the other, on Friday night in Amityville while crossing the street, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.

The crash happened about 8:10 p.m. at the intersection of Broadway and Oak Street as the cousins, 61-year-old Pablo Serrano of Woodside, Queens, and 45-year-old Claralee Correa, of Brooklyn, tried to go from the northwest corner to the northeast corner of Broadway and Oak "on foot in a posted crosswalk,” the department wrote in a news release.

That’s when the driver of an eastbound 2003 Mercury Mountaineer turning left onto Broadway from Oak struck them. Right behind the Mercury was the driver of a 2010 Orion Bus belonging to Suffolk County Transit, who also struck the pedestrians.

Serrano was declared dead at the scene; Correa was brought to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip for "nonlife-threatening injuries,” the release said.

Neither driver was injured.

Suffolk County Transit could not be immediately reached for comment.

On Friday night, Amityville and Suffolk police and other emergency personnel were on the scene of the crash.

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.

In 2024, the most recent year for which complete statistics are available, 308 pedestrians in New York State were killed by drivers, including 63 on Long Island: 37 in Suffolk and 26 in Nassau, according to tallies by the University at Albany-based Institute for Traffic Safety Management & Research.

Newsday has reported that roads on the Island are among the state’s deadliest to walk and bike on, but drivers involved in crashes that kill pedestrians and bicyclists rarely face criminal charges.

In an email, the Suffolk police press office said: “The pedestrians were walking in the crosswalk and had the right of way.”

But, the office said, no one was issued a summons, ticket, arrested or otherwise charged. “There was no criminality,” the email said.

According to the U.S. Transportation Department, about 11% of fatal pedestrian crashes involve at least two vehicles.
