An early morning crash leaves a man dead in Long Island. A 56-year-old Sound Beach man driving a 2007 Ford E150 was headed westbound when he collided with a box truck on Sunrise Highway and Helen Avenue. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene and his 28-year-old male passenger was transported to a hospital for injuries. Police say the driver of the box truck, 25, was unharmed.

Nassau County police are investigating the accident to determine whether or not a medical emergency could have contributed to the deadly crash, Newsday reports. There was no evidence of criminality.
