Several people involved suffered minor injuries.
A driver has been accused of causing a multivehicle DWI crash in Lindenhurst. According to officers, the incident occurred on Friday just after 10 p.m. at the intersection of Montauk Highway and Kramer Drive.
The driver, identified as Lester Calix, a 25-year-old resident of Huntington Station, allegedly attempted to make a left turn when he collided with an eastbound sedan. The impact caused Calix's vehicle to then strike a pickup truck before ultimately crashing into a utility pole, resulting in significant damage.
Fortunately, while several individuals were involved in the accident, they only sustained minor injuries. Authorities have not provided specific details regarding the number or identities of those injured.
Law enforcement officials suspect that alcohol played a role in the crash and subsequently charged Calix with driving while intoxicated (DWI). It is crucial to note that these allegations are merely accusations at this stage and should be treated as such until proven otherwise through legal proceedings.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing as authorities work diligently to gather additional evidence and statements from witnesses. They aim to establish a comprehensive understanding of what transpired leading up to the collision.
