A multivehicle crash left one car literally split in two Tuesday night in Hauppauge — but there were no serious injuries, police said.
The crash occurred at about 7:15 p.m. at Route 111, Wheeler Road, and the south service road of the Long Island Expressway. Police said no one was charged.
Photos from the scene show a sedan ripped in half by the force of the collision, but shows the front half of the vehicle — including the front seats — intact.
Additional details, including the number of minor injuries, was not immediately available, police said.
