Ford truck driver accused of killing motorcyclist in LIE road rage incident

A 64-year-old man is accused of intentionally killing a motorcyclist during a road rage incident on the Long Island Expressway, officials announced Friday.

Brian Noll, of Scio, in western N.Y., was driving a 2022 Ford pickup truck on the South Service Road of the LIE early Friday afternoon when he got into a confrontation with a 29-year-old man riding a 2016 Kawasaki motorcycle, Nassau County police said in a news release.

Both Noll and the still-unidentified motorcyclist were headed in the same direction.

During the confrontation, Noll intentionally drove into the Kawasaki, “pinning the victim against the guardrail,” causing severe bodily trauma to the motorcyclist, who was pronounced dead at the scene, investigators said.

The fatal crash occurred just after 2 p.m. in North Hills.

Noll was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder.

A 66-year-old woman in the truck’s passenger seat was not injured, officials said.

Noll was arraigned Saturday morning in Nassau County District Court, online records show. He pleaded not guilty, and his bail was set at $300,000.

He’s due back in court on May 14.
