The man behind the wheel of the damaged SUV drove himself, the victim and another male passenger to the parking lot of a gas station on Hospital Road in East Patchogue. That is when a bystander stepped in and took the victim to the hospital.
The victim was seriously but not critically injured, police said.
The SUV also was struck.
