6-vehicle crash injures one in North Patchogue, cops say

One person was injured in a six-vehicle crash Thursday night at a construction site in North Patchogue, Suffolk County police said.

The crash occurred where traffic was stopped by construction on eastbound Sunrise Highway near Exit 53 about 10:15 p.m., police said.

A 35-year-old man driving a 1997 GMC Suburban hit the back of a 2018 Nissan Rogue, setting off a chain reaction, police said.

The Rogue struck a 2017 Nissan sedan, which struck a 2015 Acura sedan, sending it into a 2013 Hyundai sedan, which struck a 2014 Hyundai sport utility vehicle, police said.

The only injury was to the driver of the Rogue, a 52-year-old East Patchogue man who was taken to Long Island Medical Center in East Patchogue with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Eastbound Sunrise Highway was closed at Exit 52A for about two hours, police said.
