Two men driving in a Nissan Altima on Pine Hollow Road, in New York's Nassau County, on Sunday May 30, 2010, crossed-over at a curve in the road and hit head-on into a Jeep Cherokee going the other way.

The accident occurred at about 11:00 A.M.

Police officers turned on their lights and sirens and pursued the Altima after it was spotted going 76mph in a 55mph-zone, authorities said. As police pursued the Altima, it crossed-over, causing the accident.

The driver "failed to negotiate a right-hand bend in the roadway, crossing over into oncoming traffic," said Lt. Det. John Azzata of the Nassau County homicide squad. The impact of the crash and collision was so forceful that it knocked the Jeep 125 feet backward, he said.

The accident occurred about 2.5 miles away from Kirby Road, where cops first clocked the Nissan.

Police said the two men and the man in the Jeep all died from their injuries. The names of those killed in this motor vehicle accident have not been released.
