A vehicle crash in Center Moriches claimed the life of an elderly man and injured four other people Monday afternoon. 
Suffolk police said 67-year-old Florence Soah of Hampton Bays was driving a Ford Taurus on Frowein Road when she attempted to make a left turn at the intersection of Railroad Avenue but her car was struck on the passenger side by a Chevrolet Blazer driven by 17-year-old Johanna Forney of Eastport at 3 p.m.
Edward Goering, 81, of East Quogue, a passenger in Soah’s car, was pronounced dead at the scene. Soah, Forney and two 15-year-old passengers in Forney’s sport utility vehicle were taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center where they were listed in stable condition.
Seventh Squad detectives determined that Goering was the only one not wearing a seatbelt.
Both vehicles were impounded for safety checks and the investigation is continuing. Detectives are asking anyone with information on the crash to call the Seventh Squad at 631-852-8752 or to call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
