Crash Sends Mack 10-Wheeler Truck Careening Into Home: Police

RIVERSIDE, NY — A crash sent a Mack truck careening into a Riverside home Monday morning, police said.

According to Southampton Town Police, the crash took place at 10:42 a.m. when Audrey Marrus, 75, of East Rockaway, who was driving a 2022 BMW and heading north on Riverleigh Avenue, stopped to make a right turn onto Pine Street.

That caused Matthew Virga, 26, of Farmingdale, who was driving a 10-wheeler Mack truck, to "make a quick decision" to go to the right of the BMW; he struck the BMW and then, crashed into the home, damaging the residence, police said.

Jessica Bisson, 31, was home at the time of the crash, police said. She and Marrus were both taken by Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps to Peconic Bay Medical Center; Virga was not injured, police said.

Suffolk County Motor Carrier Unit responded and issued several violations to Virga, police said.
