A truck crash in Islandia claimed the life of a Wantagh man early Monday morning, Suffolk police said. 
George Geddes, 52, was driving a Kenworth flatbed truck northbound on Route 454 when the truck collided with a guardrail at what appears to be a low rate of speed at approximately 3:30 a.m., according to 4th Squad detectives.
Geddes was pronounced dead at the scene. It appears Geddes may have suffered from a medical emergency prior to the crash, police said.
Detectives are continuing the investigation.
