A teenager from Miller Place has died from injuries he suffered when his bicycle crashed into a truck in Miller Place.
On March 24, Timothy McLaughlin was driving a Ford F-550 XL Super Duty westbound on Route 25A, when he merged into the turning lane to make a left turn into the entrance of L Delea & Sons Sod Farms, located at 696 Route 25A, at approximately 3:20 p.m. Andrew Salgado, was riding his bicycle eastbound on the shoulder and struck his bicycle into the passenger-side door of the truck.
After hitting the vehicle, Salgado fell off the bicycle, and the back passenger side tires of the truck ran him over. McLaughlin stopped his vehicle and called 911.
Salgado, 14, of Miller Place, was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital in critical condition. McLaughlin, 58, of Sound Beach, was not injured.
On May 1, Salgado died of his injuries.
The vehicle was inspected at the scene by Motor Carrier Safety Section officers. Detectives are asking anyone with information on this crash to call the Sixth Squad at 631-854-8652.
