A 75-year-old driver died after a head-on crash with another car in Massapequa Sunday afternoon, Nassau police said.

The man was driving a Hyundai Sonata north on Carmans Road near Bailey Drive when it collided with a Honda Civic at about 12:40 p.m., police said in a news release Monday. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The 33-year-old woman who was behind the wheel of the Honda may have broken a leg, and is in stable condition, police said.

The collision is still being probed.
