An investigation is underway after a man was killed after being struck first by a minivan and then by a BMW sedan on a Long Island roadway overnight.
A 21-year-old man was driving a Honda Odyssey southbound on William Floyd Parkway in Shirley, at the intersection of Sunrise Highway, when the vehicle struck a male pedestrian in the roadway at approximately 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, Suffolk County Police said.
The driver, a Shirley resident, stopped the Honda on the side of the road and exited the vehicle to render aid to the man when a southbound BMW sedan, driven by a 78-year-old Shirley man, struck the victim a second time.
The victim, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
Both drivers were not injured and their vehicles were impounded for safety checks.
