A fatal collision on Old Tappan Road in Lattingtown claimed the life of an 18-year-old resident and seriously injured a 17-year-old Locust Valley male on Monday morning, according to Nassau County Second Squad detectives.

Isabella Grasso, of 10 Mindy Court in Lattington, was driving southwest on Old Tappen Road–a road that runs behind Glen Cove High School’s track and football field–at 7:25 a.m. Monday morning when her 2003 Mercedes Benz 2 Door convertible crossed over the yellow line and collided with the male victim’s 1998 Ford Explorer, police said.

Grasso, who was a senior at Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, was airlifted to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, where she was pronounced dead at 9:16 a.m. by Dr. Edwin Gonzalez, police said.

Sacred Heart’s Principal, Sister Joanne Forker, CSJ, said that the all-girl Catholic college preparatory school is committed to helping students and faculty members grieve.

“As soon as we got the word on Isabella, we asked for and received assistance from counselors at schools in West Hempstead, Hempstead and Garden City,” said Forker. “They helped counsel our students, along with our counselors and faculty. This was a very, very sad day for our community. Isabella was well-liked, a wonderful person at the peak of her senior year, waiting to hear from colleges and participating in school events. We are united in our faith. We know that Isabella is in God’s hands, but we shall miss her dearly.”
