Icy Conditions Play Factor in Fatal West Babylon Crash

A woman was killed on Sunrise Highway, near Hubbard’s Path in West Babylon, early Sunday morning after two motorists hit icy patches on the roadway, police said.

Suffolk County police say Adalid Trejo, a 37-year-old Brentwood man, lost control of his 2006 Toyota Tacoma around 6:15 a.m. while driving in the westbound lane when his car hit a patch of ice and then struck the guardrail.

Trejo left his vehicle to check the damage and shortly after his car was hit by a 2008 Honda Civic driven by Riverhead resident Susan Galligan, 54, who police say also lost control of her car due to icy conditions. 

Galligan’s car spun out of control and struck the back of Trejo’s Toyota and Galligan was killed in the collision.

Trejo, and passengers Joaquin Trejo, 46, Franklin Trejo-Monge, 23, both of Brentwood were treated for non-life threatening injuries at Good Samaritan Hospital.

Police have impounded both vhicles for safety checks and the investigation is continuing.
