A 60-year-old man was killed when his SUV was involved in a crash with a pickup truck in his hometown of Massapequa.

Nassau County police said Edward Bauer was making a left turn in his Jeep Cherokee from Elm Street onto northbound Hicksville Road when his vehicle was hit by a southbound Dodge Ram at 11:20 a.m. Friday.

Both drivers were taken to local hospitals, but Bauer died of his injuries. The other suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Seventh Squad detectives impounded both vehicles but found no criminality.
