ORIGINAL STORY:

A Long Island man stabbed his wife to death and then led police on a chase on the Southern State Parkway before crashing his car at a gas station in Brooklyn early Friday, Nassau County Police said.

Police responded to a home on Seitz Drive in Bethpage around 12:40 a.m. after a 911 call came in reporting an assault with a weapon inside the home, police said.

A 12-year-old boy made that call after his father stabbed his 41-year-old mother to death, according to numerous reports.

The couple's 16-year-old daughter was also home at the time of the murder, and she suffered apparent defensive wounds, police said.

The father, whom the Daily News has identified as 44-year-old Robert Crumb, fled the scene and then led police on a nearly 30-mile chase along the westbound Southern State Parkway and then onto Belt Parkway, police said.

The suspect's Hyundai Sonata exited the parkway onto Pennsylvania Avenue and then crashed at a gas station at Flatlands Avenue in Brooklyn, police said.
