Two teens were airlifted after a car crashed and overturned on the westbound side of Sunrise Highway in Great River, Suffolk County Police announced on Friday, Oct. 24.

The crash happened when the driver of a 2001 Toyota Camry lost control, struck a concrete median, crossed all lanes of traffic, left the roadway, hit a tree, and overturned near West Club Road around 9:50 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, according to police.

Five people were inside the vehicle. Two suffered serious injuries and were airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital and South Shore University Hospital for treatment, police said. Three others were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
