East Northport Man Hurt in 3-Car Crash Dies From Injuries

VALLEY STREAM, NY - An East Northport man died Wednesday after he succumbed to injuries he sustained from a three-car crash on Sunrise Highway in Valley Stream that left three people hospitalized Tuesday morning, police said.

The crash then caused the Hyundai Elantra to strike a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder also travelling eastbound by a second 55-year-old woman.

The two women were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Jensen was transported to a local hospital and was listed in critical condition. He was pronounced dead Wednesday at 7:31 p.m. by a staff physician at the Northwell Hospital in Manhasset.

The Nissan Altima and the Hyundai Elantra were impounded from the scene for brake and safety checks.

The Nissan Pathfinder was removed from the scene by a family member.
