Two children, one 3, the other, 7, remained in critical condition Tuesday night, hours after they were injured in a Lake Grove crash involving a pair of SUVs, Suffolk police said.
The crash occurred about 2:30 p.m. when a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse heading west on Middle Country Road just before Hawkins Lane collided with a 2018 Nissan Rogue, police said.
Andreia Gaynor, 40, of Farmingville was driving the Traverse with five children inside, including the two critically injured, identified as Katelyn Gaynor, 3, also of Farmingville, and Harrison Frisenda, 7, of Manorville, police said.
Gaynor tried to make a left turn into a parking lot on the south side of Middle Country Road when the SUV hit the eastbound Rogue, according to police.
The Rogue's driver, Sungeethah Subramaniam, 22, of Selden, as well as Gaynor and three other children in the Traverse, ages 3, 10, and 13, were treated for non-lifethreatening injuries at Stony Brook, police said.
Both vehicles were impounded for safety checks.
