Holtsville woman hurt in one-car crash

A Holtsville woman crashed her car early Friday morning, she told police, when she swerved to avoid an animal in the road.

The 22-year-old woman, whose identity was not released, was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries after the single-car crash on County Road 83 just before 5 a.m. Friday.

The sport utility vehicle veered off the road, struck a utility pole, traveled 100 feet and then overturned before coming to a stop, police said. The force of the collision cracked the pole.

Police said no charges were filed in the crash.
