1 dies, in 2-car crash in North Patchogue

A 59-year-old Medford woman was killed and a Brookhaven man injured in a two-car crash Sunday evening on Sunrise Highway's north service road in North Patchogue.

Witnesses said the woman was driving a 2002 Toyota Camry in the parking lot of Gateway Plaza around 6:30 p.m., when the car began speeding across the parking lot and the driver appeared to be slumped over the steering wheel.

The Camry hit a curb, went airborne and landed on a 1997 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck that was being driven west on the highway's service road.

The man in the pickup, Matthew Wick, 52, was transported to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center in East Patchogue and was listed in serious condition, police said.

The driver of the Camry, whom police have not identified, was also taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Bother vehicles were impounded for safety checks and the investigation is ongoing.
