A woman was killed and two others were injured Monday after a sport utility vehicle crashed through the entrance of an AT&T store on Northern Boulevard in Great Neck, police officials said.
Lizabeth Sbar, 66, of Great Neck, was pronounced dead at 1:01 p.m. at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset after being rushed there in critical condition.
Two others were hospitalized with minor injuries stemming from the accident, police said.
The crash took place at about 10:50 a.m. Monday when a 65-year-old woman driving a 2006 Toyota RAV4 lost control of the vehicle, police said.
The motorist and her 25-year-old female passenger were also hospitalized but did not report injuries, police said.
Upon impact, Sbar was trapped beneath the vehicle and required 10 people from inside the store to remove the SUV, Nassau County Police spokesman Kenneth Lack said during a press briefing following the crash.
Lack said police do not believe the driver of the vehicle was intoxicated while driving, and has not been charged with a crime. He said the vehicle has been impounded and is undergoing a safety inspection.
Lack said the woman and her passenger, identified as the motorist’s daughter, were on their way to the AT&T store to purchase cell phone accessories.
A customer and AT&T employee who were hospitalized reported ankle lacerations and an arm injury as well as hip pain, Lack said.
An investigation by the police department’s Homicide Squad into the crash, which was also captured on surveillance video, is ongoing, police said.
