The day after a tragic crash last week, the Suffolk County Police Department was able to identify a man who had been hit and badly injured while apparently trying to cross a highway Monday afternoon.
Suffolk First Squad detectives identified the man as 50 year old Ramon Peralta of Copiague. He was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
The accident occurred Monday, August 29, at 4pm. Peralta was walking on Sunrise Highway, along the eastbound service ramp in North Lindenhurst, near his home. The accident took place near North Wellwood Avenue, where 28 year old Robert Pflug of Lindenhurst had attempted to merge his 2002 Nissan Altima into the right lane. At that moment, said Pflug, "Peralta ran in front of his car," according to the police news release.
Mr. Peralta sustained injuries to both his face and head. He was immediately transported to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip just east of the crash. As of this Tuesday, Peralta was in critical condition.
Pflug was not hurt, although his Nissan was impounded for a safety inspection. No charges have been filed and an investigation is in motion.
