Police: Southampton Woman on Drugs Crashes Into 2 Cars, a House, Tries to Flee

A Southampton woman driving while on drugs crashed into two vehicles and a house in Rocky Point on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

No one was seriously hurt in any of the crashes, which occurred around 1:05 p.m., but 34-year-old Aura Dimon faces multiple charges, police said.

Here’s how Suffolk police described the string of events:

Aura Dimon was stopped at a red light on Route 25A at the intersection of Fairway Drive when she put her car in reverse and hit the car behind her. Dimon then made a U-turn and got behind the car she crashed into, and hit the rear of the car. Dimon, driving a 2003 Jeep then fled and crashed into another car at the intersection of Rocky Point Landing Road and Hallock Landing Road in Rocky Point. Dimon again fled the scene and hit a tree, flag pole, and then crashed into a house, located at 181 Rocky Point Road. Dimon got out of her vehicle and tried to flee the scene but was apprehended by several Good Samaritans.

Dimon was arrested and charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident and DWI-drugs. Dimon will be held overnight at the Fourth Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Thursday.
