Nassau County police officer Michael Califano, 44, died of injuries he sustained as he sat in his cruiser Friday night while doing a routine traffic stop on the Long Island Expressway.
Califano’s patrol car was hit from behind by John Kaley, 25, of Connecticut, who fell asleep while driving a massive flatbed truck. The cruiser was pushed about 100 feet until it was driven underneath, and crushed under, a box truck.
Kaley was charged with criminally negligent homicide after Califano died Saturday morning.
