A pedestrian was struck and killed at the intersection of Merrick Road and Jackson Avenue in Seaford early Tuesday evening.

According to detectives, around 5:40 p.m., 65-year-old Seaford resident Bryan Flack was attempting to cross Merrick Road on foot northbound at the intersection of Jackson Avenue when he was struck by a 2008 Nissan Frontier.

The driver of the Frontier, a 65-year-old male from Massapequa, was heading southbound on Jackson Avenue when he made a left turn to head eastbound on Merrick Road and struck Flack, police said.

Flack was transported to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at 10:05 p.m., police said.

The driver's vehicle was impounded for brake and safety checks, but police said that there was no criminality involved in the accident.

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meetingRead More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
