State police say an 85-year-old nun was killed in an accident on Sunrise Highway in the town of Southampton.

The crash happened on the eastbound Sunrise Highway near Exit 63.

Police say Sister Josephine Dagostino, of Bellmore, was killed in the crash. A Yaphank man was also injured.

Police say it appears one car rear-ended the other vehicle.

Shortly after that accident, police say another crash occurred involving a tractor-trailer and three other vehicles.

Police say two people suffered injuries when they rear-ended the tractor-trailer, which had slowed down to avoid the first crash.
