Florida woman dies in red-light crash
A Florida woman was killed in East Northport Sunday after a man ran a red light and hit her car, Suffolk County police said.
About 4:40 p.m., Geraldine Michaelson, 60, was driving west through a green light on Cedar Road near Larkfield Road. Mark Fairchild, 57, of East Northport, was going north on Larkfield, ran a red light and hit her car, police said.
Michaelson, in a 2012 Chevrolet, was pronounced dead at Huntington Hospital shortly afterward.
Her 11-year-old granddaughter was treated and released, as was Fairchild, who was driving a 1994 Ford Van.
Police issued Fairchild a summons for driving through a red light.
The investigation is continuing, police said.
