A Medical Emergency Played a Role In Fatal Crash. Nassau County police are investigating whether or not a medical emergency could have played a role in a fatal crash on Sunrise Highway and Helen Avenue. The early morning accident occurred when a 2007 Ford E150 collided with a box truck. The driver of the van, a 56-year-old man from Sound Beach, was killed. His 28-year-old passenger was transported to a hospital for his injuries. The box truck driver, 25, did not appear to be injured, police said.
The accident is being investigated by Nassau County police, Newsday reports. There was no evidence of criminality. In the early morning, the westbound van struck the 2017 Chevrolet box truck situated in a westbound left turn lane to enter Home Depot.
