A Bronx man died Wednesday after his car crashed on the Long Island Expressway in Melville, Suffok County police said.
James Dawson was driving a Ford E350 van west on the LIE, just west of exit 49, when his vehicle struck the center median at approximately 4:40 p.m. Dawson, 52, was taken to Plainview Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Suffolk detectives believe Dawson suffered a medical emergency before the crash.
The vehicle is being impounded for a safety check.
