According to the Nassau County Police Department, around 9:30 p.m., Stephen A. Rossman, 20, of Seaford, was speeding in a 2014 Nissan Rogue, heading west on Jerusalem Avenue in North Bellmore. He hit the rear of a 2007 Nissan Altima, causing the vehicle to spin out of control.

The Altima struck a 45-year-old female pedestrian from Wantagh as she was crossing north on Jerusalem Avenue. She was killed and pronounced dead at the scene.

As the Altima continued to spin, it struck a 2013 Subaru traveling east on Jerusalem Avenue.
