Car Accident on Sylvan Avenue

Two drivers escaped injury in an accident that took place late this afternoon at 808 Sylvan Avenue in Bayport. While both cars suffered significant damage, the incident had little impact on rush hour traffic.

The Bayport Fire Department and Community Ambulance Company of Sayville arrived at the scene, and it was soon determined by rescue personnel that neither driver involved in the accident needed to be transported to a hospital. 

While the exact circumstances that caused the accident were unknown to emergency personnel at the scene, the driver of the dark blue sedan, a woman, crashed into the woods nearby a home as she was driving north on Sylvan Avenue, said Bayport Fire Department's Second Assistance Chief Ryan Tomassone.

The driver of the blue sedan was checked by ambulance personnel and was reported to be uninjured. The driver of the other car involved managed to avoid injury as well, although both cars were significantly damaged.

Tomassone said the driver who had crashed into the woods had climbed out of her passenger door to safety before the ambulance or fire department even arrived the scene.

This accident did not have an impact on traffic nearby the scene; there was only a brief delay at the school gate intersection, which is located just a short distance south from where the accident occurred on Sylvan Avenue.
