Suffolk County Police Major Case Unit detectives are investigating a hit-and-run crash that killed a man in Farmingville yesterday evening.
 
A man was crossing northbound on Horseblock Road, near Raymond Avenue, when he was struck by an unknown vehicle traveling westbound at approximately 6 p.m. As he was lying in the roadway, a Subaru Impreza struck the victim, then spun and crashed into a fire hydrant, a tree, and a parked Hyundai Tucson.
 
The pedestrian, who has not yet been identified by police, was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner. The two male drivers of the Subaru and Hyundai were transported to Stonybrook University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
