A woman was airlifted to a nearby hospital after she was rescued from an overturned vehicle in Cold Spring Harbor on Monday afternoon.

According to fire officials, the Cold Spring Harbor Fire Department responded to a three-vehicle crash involving an SUV that overturned on its side, trapping a woman inside, on Main Street, near the Whaling Museum, at 3:30 p.m.

Firefighters stabilized the vehicle and used heavy rescue cutting tools to remove the roof and free the woman. She was airlifted to Stony Brook Hospital by the Suffolk Police Medevac helicopter that landed nearby at Goose Hill Primary School.
