Child Injured In Greenport Rollover Crash: Fire Chief

GREENPORT, NY — A child was injured in a rollover crash in Greenport Sunday night, officials said.

According to Greenport Fire Chief Susano Jiminez, the crash, which took place at approximately 6:10 p.m. at the intersection of Fifth and Front Streets, involved a pickup truck and car.

Jiminez said it appeared that the driver of the pickup, who was heading east, "took the turn too close" when turning north onto Fifth Street and ended up on the front bumper of the car involved before rolling over onto its side. It was not immediately clear how fast that driver was going, Jiminez said.

A child in the pickup was hurt but injuries were not believed to be serious, Jiminez said. There were at least 3 people in the pickup, he added. The child was taken by Greenport Fire Department Rescue to Eastern Long Island Hospital for treatment, he said.

The female driver of the car was also injured but injuries were also believed to be minor, Jiminez said; she, too, was transported to ELIH for treatment, he said.

A portion of Front Street was closed and traffic was diverted after the crash.

No further information was immediately available, police said.
