Suffolk County police say the driver, 39-year-old Olvin Jimenez, died in the crash in Brentwood on Sunday afternoon. Also killed was the front-seat passenger, 39-year-old Erica Jimenez-Mejia. The driver was at the wheel of a Toyota Corolla on Crooked Hill Road when he crossed into the opposite lane, slamming into a Toyota RAV4. Two children in the back seat of the Corolla, ages 2 and 10, were being treated for injuries at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center. Juan Carlos Morga, 17, is Erica Jimenez-Mejia's son. Olvin Jimenez is his long-time step-father. He said he doesn't know what he's going to do now that his parents are dead. "Now I feel bad. My parents die," he said. Morga said his younger sister is awake and alert in the hospital but his older sister is in a coma.
