Suffolk County police are looking for a hit-and-run trucker who was involved in a crash that ended with a victim having their finger amputated on the Long Island Expressway in Holtsville two weeks ago, authorities said Monday.
A woman was driving a Ford Freestyle westbound in the left lane of the LIE when her SUV collided with a tractor trailer between exits 63 and 62 shortly after 10 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, police said.

Sixth Squad detectives are asking for the public’s help in finding the truck driver. Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
