According to the Suffolk County Police Department, the fatal motorcycle accident occurred at approximately 1:42 a.m. on Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst. Investigators said Carlos Henao was operating a Harley-Davidson motorcycle westbound when he attempted to pass two westbound vehicles.

Police reported that during the maneuver, the motorcycle struck the rear of a Dodge Ram and a Honda CR-V after the vehicles moved into the right lane. The collision caused Henao to be thrown from the motorcycle. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, but he was pronounced dead as a result of the injuries he sustained.

The crash remains under investigation as authorities work to establish the circumstances surrounding the collision. Police said the driver of the Honda CR-V, identified as 28-year-old Brieonna McGinn of Massapequa, was taken into custody following the incident.
