Mother sent to hospital after Route 58 crash; four kids uninjured
A woman suffered non life-threatening injuries after a minivan carrying her and four children struck an SUV on Route 58 in Riverhead Thursday afternoon.
The woman’s gray Dodge Grand Caravan driven was heading east on Route 58 about 3:45 p.m. when it struck a northbound black Chevy Trailblazer whose driver was trying to make a left turn onto Route 58 at Northville Turnpike, police said.
The four uninjured children in the car were taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center with the mother because there was no other guardian to take care of them, according to police; the driver of the SUV was unharmed.
Firefighters were called to the scene to redirect traffic; the road completely reopened about 4:15 p.m.
