Suffolk County police at the scene of a

A West Islip woman died Tuesday morning in a head-on collision with a truck in West Islip, Suffolk County police said.

Julia Schweers, 19, a 2014 graduate of St. John the Baptist High School, where her father, Keith, was the football coach from 2007 to 2013, was fatally injured in the 5:55 a.m. crash at the intersection of Higbie Lane and Union Boulevard.

Police said Julia Schweers was driving north on Higbie Lane when her 2011 Toyota Camry collided with the 2005 Mitsubishi box truck, which was trying to turn left onto Union.

She was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip, where she died, police said.

Police said the driver of the truck, Antonio Reyes, 45, of 129 Patterson St., Perth Amboy, New Jersey, was not injured in the crash.

Keith Schweers was a 26-year-old NYPD officer assigned to the 113th Precinct in Jamaica, Queens, when he was shot in the chest at point-blank range on Oct. 30, 1995 -- then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani said a bulletproof vest saved Schweers' life.

According to newspaper accounts of the shooting, Schweers' wife was five months pregnant with their second child.

Julia Schweers was born in March 1996.

I wonder whether this particular Antonio Reyes had a record, whether he is in the country legally, whether he has a valid license;

who had the green light? He turned across her path. This was in daylight, not night time, so neither was required to have their headlights on. But did they?

Clearly he failed to yield to through traffic.

 

What else don't we know?

We could speculate about the cost of tea in China but why bother?

Was this person cut off or hit head on?

My guess is the other person went to take a left turn in front of on coming traffic and wasn't turned so left when the collision happened.

Julia was driving north in her Camry, 

Antonia was driving south in his box truck, and made a left turn across her path.

It looks like the front of her Camry hit the right-front corner of the truck.
