• Driving instructor killed in crash
Suffolk County Police are investigating a crash that killed a Manorville man in Port Jefferson Station this past Monday.
According to police, Leonard Sloan was driving a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu, owned by Fitzgerald’s Driving School of North Babylon, westbound on Nesconset Highway when he apparently lost control of the vehicle and crossed over onto oncoming traffic.
The Malibu struck three vehicles in the eastbound turning lane that were waiting to turn left onto Davis Avenue. Detectives believe that Sloan, a driving instructor who did not have any passengers in the vehicle, may have had a medical event prior to the crash.
