Islip, NY – Fatal Five-Car Collision on Express Drive S near Motor Pkwy

Islip, NY (July 8, 2023) – A man lost his life in a fatal five-car accident that happened in Islip. Reports show the wreck occurred on Monday morning, July 3 at around 8:50 a.m. 

Police say the collision occurred when a 2023 Mack garbage truck was headed east on Express Drive South. For reasons unknown, a 2019 Honda rear-ended a Honda Accord that was waiting at a red light at the intersection of Motor Parkway. 

The truck then side-swept a 2018 Thomas Built school bus that rear-ended a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee as a result. The Jeep then became lodged in front of the garbage truck and struck a 2009 Toyota Matrix, causing the Toyota to spin and strike a utility pole. 

The driver of the Accord was pronounced deceased on-site. The driver was identified as 24-year-old Joseph Kelly. The Toyota and Jeep drivers were sent to the hospital with injuries. 

Authorities in Islip continue to investigate the details of the accident. 

We want to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
