Another Wreck at Infamous Turn


Early morning wreck on Montauk Highway in Center Moriches. | Robert Chartuk

The sharp curve on Montauk Highway between East and Center Moriches was the scene of an early morning accident Wednesday involving two Kias. The infamous County Road 80 turn has seen many accidents over the years, many fatal.

A vehicle heading west apparently spun out and crossed over into the eastbound lane, where it was struck. The airbags in both cars deployed, but neither the drivers of the two vehicles nor two children heading to school in one of them were injured.

Suffolk Police from the 7th Precinct and emergency crews from the Center Moriches Fire Department quickly responded.
