Suffolk County Police Seventh Precinct officers responded to Estate Court in Sound Beach after a 911 caller reported a suspicious vehicle parked in the street at approximately 5:11 p.m. Friday, July 12.
When officers arrived, the vehicle, a 2006 Hyundai Elantra driven by Adam Berry, fled the scene, police said.
The Hyundai, which had been reported stolen on June 28, 2019, drove south on Westchester Drive, then east on Route 25A before crashing into a 2015 Honda sedan at Fairway Drive in Rocky Point at 5:40 p.m., police said.
Berry was transported to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson with minor injuries. The driver of the Honda, a 29-year-old woman, was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital with minor injuries. A passenger in the Hyundai was not injured.

He is being held overnight at the Seventh Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday, July 13.
