A multi-vehicle crash in the middle of the night shut down a Long Island highway and left one man dead, local police said Saturday.
The Sunrise Highway was closed around 4:30 a.m. after a collision involving seven vehicles blocked the road between Broadway and Lincoln Boulevard in Holbrook.
Responding officers found a mess of vehicles and injured drivers. At least three people were transported to nearby hospitals to be treated for minor injuries.
Kelvin Saula-Bueno, 22, of Bay Shore, died after sustaining injuries in the crash, police said.
Two other drivers were not hurt, but the seventh, the driver of a 2012 Mazda, ran from the crash site. Police were still looking for the person hours later.
There were no passengers in any of the involved vehicles, according to police.
