05/26/2008: Overturned Auto In Lindenhurst

LINDENHURST, NY – In what seems like a yearly Memorial Day tradition, The Lindenhurst Fire Department responded to an overturned automobile on May 26, 2008. It was two years ago on Memorial Day that the same fire department responded to an overturned automobile which struck the Boston Market on Montauk Highway.

This accident occurred on Wellwood Avenue just north of Gary Street. A Grand Cherokee struck another vehicle and ended up on its roof. The driver of the vehicle was self-extricated and treated for non-life threatening injuries by Lindenhurst EMT’s. Heavy Rescue Truck 1-6-5 used their winch and up-righted the vehicle while the patient was transported to the hospital.
