Car hits second floor of Medford house, woman inside hurt, police say

A second-floor window of a  Medford home was struck by a fast-moving silver sedan that then flipped, almost crushing the car's front end, as it came to rest just feet from the house Wednesday morning, according to police and photographs.

A woman in the Bellport Avenue house was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital with an injured eye after the 8:10 a.m. incident.

The driver of the 2002 Honda, who police identified as Jose Argueta Garcia, 22, of Patchogue, was arrested shortly after police said he fled on foot. He was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Garcia was charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash with injury and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash with property damage and issued three summonses, Suffolk police said. Garcia was also issued a field appearance ticket, which means he was given a court date instead of waiting in jail before being arraigned.

Town of Brookhaven building officials will inspect the home, authorities said.
