Suffolk County police said Robert Fattibene, 53, of Smithtown, was driving a Dodge Durango northbound on Commack Road when he crossed into the southbound lane and hit a Nissan Altima driven by 32-year-old Herver Leonel Garcia Munoz of Brentwood at 6:35 p.m.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

Yesenia Marilu Martinez Vasquez, 24, a passenger in the Nissan, was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital.

Justin Martinez, the toddler who was riding with his mother and father in the car, was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip. Both the mother and child are listed in critical condition.

First Squad detectives impounded the vehicles for safety checks, are continuing the investigation and ask anyone with information about the crash to contact them at 631-854-8152.

Luckily, our website is hosted with Garden City Internet technology firm Webair, whose state-of-the-art facilities never even blinked during Mother Nature’s furious onslaught. For the next couple of days, occasionally sitting in their offices, we were able to provide the free, accurate and important information that the L.I. public has come to know and trust us for. Our coverage was live and uninterrupted, which ended up being a priceless resource for hundreds of thousands of our friends, family and neighbors.

Our coverage during the storm recently won us a few journalism awards, but that’s not why we worked so hard during those crazy days.

We understood the importance of delivering information to our audience during this unprecedented event.

We needed to be able to communicate with the public.

We wanted to help. And we did.

But we couldn’t have done it without Webair, and as a result, we wholeheartedly endorse them, and urge business owners on Long Island to consider them for their internet hosting needs.

One person was killed in a crash in Commack involving a garbage truck.

One person was killed early Friday morning in a crash involving a garbage truck and another vehicle in Commack, Suffolk County police said.

Police have yet to identify anyone involved in the crash or reveal what led to the fatal incident. The crash occurred at 3:33 a.m. on Jericho Turnpike, police said.

Police have closed off Jericho Turnpike between Kings Park Road and Wyandanch Boulevard indefinitely as they continue to investigate the incident.

There have been conflicting reports on the number of people who were shot inside Taft High School. KABC-TV reported that two people were injured.

According to the reports, the shooting occurred around 9 a.m.

23ABC News said they received calls from people who were hiding inside closets.

Police are now securing the building.

The shooting comes less than a month after a madman gunned down 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

The shooting has reignited the emotional debate over gun control laws in the country.

23ABC News is streaming live video from the scene.
