A Manorville man was injured when he swerved to avoid something in the roadway and crashed into a dental office in Miller Place Thursday afternoon, Suffolk police said.
The 59-year-old man, whose name was not released, was driving a 2011 Subaru four-door sedan when it crashed into the dental office at 242 North Country Rd. at about 5 p.m., police said.
