MASTIC BEACH, NY – A Long Island couple was killed after an SUV went through a stop sign and slammed into their car Saturday night in Mastic Beach. The driver of the SUV was arrested after he fled the scene, police said.

According to Suffolk Police, William Molnar was driving a 2004 Subaru east on Forest Road West when his car was struck by a 2006 Ford Explorer that was traveling south on Huguenot Drive at 10:11 p.m. Molnar, 50, had the right-of-way as there is a stop sign on Huguenot Drive at the intersection.

Molnar and his wife, 41-year-old Jean Molnar, a passenger in the front seat of the Subaru, both of Mastic Beach, were pronounced dead at the scene. A 22-year-old male passenger in the front seat of the Explorer was transported by Suffolk County Police helicopter to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
