It happened around 11:45 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 3 in Amityville.

A man was walking across Route 110, near Albany Avenue, when he was struck by a southbound vehicle and then struck again by a northbound 2020 Land Rover, Suffolk County Police said.

The man, 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.

New York State Troopers stopped the Land Rover on the westbound Southern Parkway, near Exit 19, and charged the driver, Danielle Lapersonerie, age 26, of Amityville, with driving while intoxicated.

Suffolk County Police Major Case Unit detectives charged Lapersonerie with leaving the scene of an incident involving a fatality. 

She was held overnight at the First Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Monday, Sept. 4.

The first vehicle to strike the victim is still being sought, and detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the Major Case Unit at 631-852-6555 or Crime Stoppers at 800-220-TIPS. All calls will remain confidential.
