Holbrook Woman Critically Injured, 2 Others Hurt in 3-Car Crash

A Holbrook woman is in critical condition following a three-car crash in Holbrook Monday evening, police said.

According to police, 44-year-old Christopher Romano, of Holbrook, was driving his 2002 Jeep south on Patchogue-Holbrook Road when he apparently lost control of his vehicle on the Long Island Rail Road overpass due to icy road conditions at about 5:25 p.m.

The Jeep crossed into the northbound lanes of Patchogue-Holbrook Road and struck a 2001 Infiniti that was traveling north, police said. The Infiniti then spun out and was struck by a 1999 Ford Van that was traveling behind the Infiniti northbound on Patchogue-Holbrook Road, police said.

The driver of the Infiniti, Patricia Gute, 55, of Holbrook, was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she was in critical condition. The driver of the Ford, Robert Flynn, 50, of Centereach, and Romano suffered non-life threatening injuries, police said.

All three vehicles were impounded for safety checks and the investigation is continuing.
