Suffolk County Police Seventh Squad detectives are investigating a motor vehicle crash that killed a motorcyclist in Manorville.

Police said William Sarubbi was driving a 2014 Suzuki motorcycle eastbound on the Long Island Expressway,

just east of exit 68, when he collided with the back of a 2024 Ford F250 pickup truck being driven by Derick Perez.

Law enforcement said the impact ejected Sarubbi from the motorcycle at 5:46 p.m.

A 2022 Mitsubishi, being driven eastbound by John Fierro, swerved to avoid striking Sarubbi in the roadway and hit the motorcycle.

Sarubbi, 37, of Riverhead, was rushed by ambulance to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead

where he was pronounced dead.

Neither Perez, 22, of Coram, or Fierro, 55, of Holtsville, were injured in the crash.

All three vehicles were impounded for a safety check. Detectives are asking anyone with information on the crash to contact Seventh Squad detectives at 631-852-8752.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
