The Ram then left the roadway and struck several vehicles in an Autoland USA dealership parking lot, causing damage to a dozen of them.
Suffolk police responded to the multivehicle crash at 8:45 p.m., a police spokesman said.
The pickup truck driver and a passenger were taken to Stony Brook University Hospital with minor injuries, the spokesman said. The driver of the Subaru was not hurt.
