Vilorio, of Rocky Point, was transported to Stony Brook University Medical Center, where she was admitted in critical condition. Suffolk police said Saturday that her condition had not changed.

Dougherty, also of Rocky Point, was not injured. No charges were filed, although the Jeep was impounded for a safety check. The investigation is continuing, police said.
