The crash happened in Lake Grove at around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17.

Andreia Gaynor, age 40, of Farmingville, was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse westbound on Middle Country Road, just west of Hawkins Lane, when she attempted to make a left turn into a parking lot on the south side of the street, Suffolk County Police said.

The Traverse then struck a 2018 Nissan Rogue being driven by Sungeethah Subramaniam, age 22, of Selden, police said.

Two children in the Traverse, 3-year-old Katelyn Gaynor, of Farmingville, and 7-year-old Harrison Frisenda, of Manorville, were transported via ambulance to Stony Brook University Hospital in critical condition.

Subramaniam was transported to the same hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Gaynor, an adult passenger in her vehicle, and three other children, ages 13, 10, and 3, were all transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Both vehicles were impounded for safety checks.
