Suffolk County Police Seventh Squad detectives are investigating a multi-vehicle crash that injured three people, one seriously, in Manorville.
A 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by Carlos Quezadamorocho, and a 2024 Subaru Outback, driven by Elise Caren, were involved in a minor collision on the westbound Long Island Expressway, between Exit 69 and Exit 68.
The two vehicles pulled onto the right shoulder. The drivers got out to exchange insurance information.
That is when police said a westbound 2022 Subaru Outback, driven by Mitchel Ashkanazy, veered off the roadway and crashed into the rear of the 2024 Subaru, injuring both drivers and a passenger.
Quezadamorocho, 25, of Southampton, was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
Caren, 36, of Huntington, and her passenger, Andrew Senuta, 36, of Huntington, were rushed to the same hospital with minor injuries.
Ashkanazy, 72, of Fair Lawn, New Jersey, was not injured. The three vehicles were impounded for safety checks.
