The crash happened just before 8:30 a.m. Friday, Dec. 9 in Massapequa.

That's when a marked Nassau County Police vehicle was traveling southbound on Hicksville Road responding to an emergency call, when the man driving in a 2012 Hyundai Elantra traveling northbound attempted to make a left turn onto North Suffolk Avenue, according to the Nassau County PD.

The operators of both vehicles were transported to local area hospitals by Nassau County Police Medics.

On Friday afternoon, Dec. 16, Nassau County Police announce the operator of the Elantra, Morris Sprachman, of Seaford, has succumbed to his injuries.
