A Hicksville man was charged with manslaughter in a fatal high speed crash on Hempstead Turnpike late Monday night in East Meadow, according to Nassau County Police.

Justin Daley, 28, was speeding on Hempstead Turnpike in a 2003 Nissan Sentra when he struck a 2013 Honda, cops said.

The crash happened at 11:40 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of Hempstead Turnpike near Front Street, officials said.

The driver of the Honda was rushed to Nassau University Medical Center where she was pronounced dead at 12:05 a.m., police said.

The victim was identified Wednesday morning as Ming Deng, 58, of East Meadow. Her family said she was an EEG technician at NUMC, just one block from the scene of the accident, according to Newsday.

Daley was arrested at the scene and brought to a hospital for treatment of a leg injury, cops said. He was charged with second-degree manslaughter, second-degree reckless endangerment, and reckless driving. An arraignment has not yet taken place.

The crash may have been caused by a car that was fleeing a traffic stop in a suspected drug deal, according to WABC. Officers had attempted to pull over a car, which fled and slammed into two other cars on the busy road, according to the report.

The investigation is ongoing.
