A three-vehicle accident in Hauppauge closed southbound Wheeler Road for about a half-hour Thursday morning, largely because of an overturned sport utility vehicle, Suffolk County police said.

Two drivers in the accident, which happened about 10:44 a.m., had nonlife-threatening injuries, police said. The drivers of the SUV and a Nissan were taken to hospitals, police said.

Police did not have an update on their conditions.

A witness at the scene said the Nissan driver hit the front side of the SUV, flipping it over. A third car then hit the Nissan from behind. That driver did not appear to be hurt, the witness said.
