The crash took place in Calverton around 6:14 a.m., Thursday, April 1.
That's when Leonor Parra-Nunez, of Coram, was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima northbound on Burman Boulevard when he ran a red light at Route 25, and his vehicle was struck by an eastbound 2010 Chevrolet Equinox in Calverton, said Riverhead Police Det. Michael Schmidt.
