Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives are investigating a three-car crash that killed two people in Melville yesterday afternoon.
Fred Goldberg was driving a 2022 Acura eastbound on Ruland Road when he lost control of the vehicle and veered through traffic, crossing a grass median on the northwest corner of the intersection of Pinelawn Road. The Acura then struck a 2018 Lexus SUV and a 2020 Ford Escape, both of which were stopped at the red light facing southbound on Pinelawn Road waiting to turn east onto Ruland Road at 1:02 p.m.
Goldberg, 92, and his wife, Leah Goldberg, 86, both of Melville, were transported via ambulance to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip where they were pronounced dead. Neither the driver of the Lexus, Geraldine Spiezo, 75, of Huntington Station, or the driver of the Ford, Dominic Massaro, 24, of Centereach, were injured in the crash.
The Acura was impounded for a safety check. The other two vehicles were released on the scene.
Detectives are asking anyone with information on this crash to contact the Second Squad at 631-854-8252.
