WEST ISLIP, NY - Two people were seriously injured after a drunken driver crashed his car, causing it to burst into flames in front of a West Islip home Thursday morning, according to Suffolk Police.

Jack Magee, 22, of Brightwaters, was driving a 2001 Ford Taurus on Alwick Avenue when he failed to negotiate a turn and struck a stone wall in front the Edmore Lane home, police said.

The car caught fire following the crash and when officers arrived, Magee was outside his car but two other occupants remained in the burning car, police said.

Third Precinct police officer Joseph White and a nearby resident pulled the front seat passenger from the car.

When they attempted to remove the other passenger, they were unable to open the rear doors of the vehicle due to damage.
