Car slams into Blue Point house, police say

The driver of a car that careened into a house in Blue Point late Monday morning suffered minor injuries but none of the three people in the home at the time were hurt, police said.

Suffolk County police said the crash at the home near the intersection of Division Avenue and Montauk Highway was reported in a 911 call at 11:48 a.m. and involved a 2015 Hyundai.

The male driver of the Hyundai was transported to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center in East Patchogue for treatment of minor injuries, police said.

Police said the male driver of a second vehicle, a van, refused medical attention at the scene — and was issued a summons for failure to yield. He also was issued a summons for having an expired inspection, according to police.

Police said the van was attempting to cross Montauk from south to north on Division when it collided with the Hyundai. The Hyundai then crashed into the home.

Photos from the scene show the front end of the Hyundai embedded into the side of the home.

The extent of the damage to the home was not immediately known.
