The incident happened Saturday, Aug. 29, 2020 at around 2:30 a.m. in Mount Sinai.

Jennifer Hohn, 40, of Saint James, was driving a 2018 Toyota northbound in front of 745 Mount Sinai Coram Road, when she crashed the vehicle into a parked 2010 GMC pickup truck occupied by a man and woman, Suffolk County Police said.

Hohn then struck a man on a bicycle who was leaning against the truck from the right shoulder of the road, according to police. 

She then crashed the Toyota into a sign, a mailbox and a fence, police said.

The man, Jason Sciortino, of Port Jefferson Station, was transported by Port Jefferson Emergency Medical Services to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
