Suffolk County Police Fourth Squad detectives are investigating a motor vehicle crash that killed a motorcyclist in Islandia Sunday afternoon.
H. Reaves was driving a 2008 Suzuki motorcycle eastbound on the Long Island Expressway at a high rate of speed when he rear-ended a 2012 Toyota Prius just east of Old Nichols Road at 3:24 p.m.
The collision caused the Prius to veer into the concrete divider on the left side. Reaves, 62, was transported via Suffolk County Police helicopter to Stony Brook University Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The driver of the Toyota, R. Lehmann, 72, and a 71-year-old female passenger in the vehicle, were also transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Both vehicles were impounded for safety checks.
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact the Fourth Squad at 631-854-8452.
