A 29-year-old man died in Rosedale early Monday morning after the car he was riding in rear-ended another car and overturned, police said.
Kendall Heard, 29, of Freeport, L.I., was in the passenger seat of a 2014 Infinity sedan, traveling eastbound on the Belt Parkway with Sharlene Numa, 28, of Roosevelt, L.I., when their car struck a 2012 Mercedes from behind that was being driven by an unidentified 18-year-old man, according to cops.
