Man dies of injuries sustained in crash with pole

A man who was seriously injured after his car crashed into a pole last week has died.

Police previously reported that 21-year-old Gregory Watson, a resident of Lake Grove, was driving a 1999 Nissan SX on March 17, heading south on Hawkins Avenue, when he lost control of the car. At about 1:35 p.m., he struck a pole at the intersection with Terry Avenue.

Watson was being treated for serious injuries at Stony Brook University Hospital, according to the Suffolk County Police Department, after the single-car crash.

But police reported on March 24 that Watson had died of his injuries.

Anyone with information about the crash may contact the SCPD’s 4th Squad detectives at 631-854-8452.
