3 Teens Hurt in Dix Hills Overturn Crash

Three teens were transported to a local hospital after a Jeep struck a tree and overturned in Dix Hills Monday night, fire officials say.

A Jeep Renegade was involved in the single-car crash on Buttonwood Drive at 9 p.m. The three teens inside the vehicle were able to escape the wreckage, fire officials say.

The teens were transported to Huntington Hospital by the Dix Hills Rescue Squad to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
