Woman injured in West Main Street rollover
A driver was hospitalized Tuesday after drifting off a Riverhead road and flipping over after striking a utility pole, Riverhead Town police said.

She was the only occupant in the car, he added.
The car flipped over and the woman was trapped inside, authorities said. A Riverhead Fire Department heavy rescue unit was called to the scene, but Riverhead police officers were able to break the car’s glass and pull the woman out, police said.
