A Lynbrook man died after being struck by a car while assessing his own vehicle following a collision on the Cross Island Expressway in Bayside Tuesday, New York City police said.

At approximately 10:47 p.m., Curtis Blocker, 31, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Spark near Exit 30 along Alley Pond Park when she collided with a 2018 Jaguar, the New York Police Department said.

The driver of the Nissan remained at the scene. Neither the driver of the Jaguar nor the Nissan was injured.
