Surveillance video of hit-and-run suspect looking at his car with a flashlight after crash.
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Long Island police are searching for the driver of a hit-and-run crash that killed a 61-year-old man earlier this month.
On Dec. 5 around 8 p.m., Robert Twiford parked his car on a Long Island Expressway off ramp and then got out of the vehicle, authorities said.
Twiford was struck by a vehicle while he was in the traffic lane of the LIE. The vehicle continued driving without stopping, according to officials.
About a half a mile from the crash, the suspect stopped his car at Garrity Avenue in Ronkonkoma where he looked at his car with a flashlight.
Meanwhile, EMS workers transported Twiford to Stony Brook University Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The car is described as a light-colored, possibly gray, 2015 to 2018 Ford Focus hatchback.
