Dedicated NYPD Officer Dies After Fighting For Life Following Greenlawn Crash: Police

GREENLAWN, NY — A NYPD officer and Huntington resident who was critically injured in a two-vehicle crash earlier this week in Greenlawn has died, according to Suffolk County police.

Michael Izzo, 42, was pronounced dead on Feb. 10 at South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore after suffering injuries in the Feb. 8 crash, police said.

The collision occurred around 3:19 a.m. at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Little Plains Road, according to Suffolk County Police Major Case Unit detectives.

A 2022 Toyota Tundra traveling northbound on Broadway Avenue collided with a 2009 Honda CR-V that was traveling eastbound on Little Plains Road, police said.

Izzo, who was driving the Honda, was transported to the hospital in critical condition following the crash, police said. The Toyota driver, 56, of Hauppauge, was not injured. Both drivers were alone in their vehicles at the time of the collision, according to police.

Both vehicles were impounded for safety checks, police said.

Izzo was assigned to the New York City Police Department’s 111th Precinct as a member of its Quality of Life Team, according to an online fundraiser organized in his honor. The page said he joined the department in December 2021 and was known as a "dedicated officer who cared deeply about his community."

The fundraiser describes Izzo as being survived by his mother, Sonia, his brother, Anthony, and his sister, Rose, and says the effort is intended to support his family with unexpected expenses during their time of grief.
