Kevin Hernandez-Pinto, 17,
of Central Islip, was
driving a 1994 Toyota
Camry south on Church
Street when he hit

a taxi, a 1999
Ford Crown Victoria being
driven westbound on Suffolk
Avenue by Christopher Jackson,
33, of Central Islip.

A third car, a 2007
Mazda, being driven westbound
on Suffolk Avenue by
Marcia Ledwidge, 46, of
Central Islip, also hit

the Camry. Hernandez-Pinto
died shortly thereafter at
Southside Hospital where he
and his three passengers had

been transported by ambulance.
The three passengers suffered
non-life-threatening injuries. Two are
Central Islip High School

students. Jackson and a
passenger in the taxi
also were transported to
Southside Hospital and were

treated for neck and back
injuries. Ledwidge, however, was
taken to Good Samaritan.
