Police Need Help To ID Man Struck By 2 Vehicles On LI

FLANDERS, NY — Police need help to identify the male pedestrian who was struck by two separate vehicles in Flanders on Sunday night, police said.

According to Southampton Town Police, at 7:29 p.m., several 911 calls came in for a pedestrian who had been struck at the intersection of Flanders Road and Route 105. A 46-year-old from Madison, Connecticut, who was driving a Mercedes SUV and turning from Flanders Road onto Route 105, struck the pedestrian when he ran out in front of the car, police said. That crash sent the pedestrian into a lane of travel, where he was struck by the second vehicle, a 2013 Honda Odyssey driven by a 37-year-old Riverhead man, police said.

The Southampton Police Department's detective division said they are looking for any information on the pedestrian to properly notify the next of kin.

The pedestrian was a Hispanic man, possibly in his 40s to 50s, about 5-feet, 6-inches tall with a thin build, police said. He was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat, black jeans, a black sweatshirt, black-and-red Converse sneakers, and carrying a black backpack, police said. The tattoo in the above picture was located on the pedestrian’s left outer calf, police said.

Both drivers remained on scene and cooperated with police; no charges were filed, authorities said.

Southampton Town Police personnel responded and requested the Flanders-Northampton Volunteer Ambulance and the Flanders Fire Department for assistance, police said. Southampton Town detectives also responded and are currently investigating the crash, police said.

Anyone with information about the incident or the identity of the pedestrian person is asked to contact the Southampton Town Police Department's detective division at 631-702-2230; the Southampton Town Police tips hotline at 631-728-3454 or the tips email at crimetips@southamptontownny.gov.
