According to Suffolk Police, the incident happened in North Patchogue at around 7pm on Thursday, June 15.
Jeffrey Edsall, 52, of Patchogue was allegedly driving a stolen 2001 Ford Explorer northbound on North Ocean Avenue when he rear-ended a 2013 Chevy Suburban as it was making a left turn into the funeral home’s parking lot.
The impact of the initial crash sent Edsall onto the southbound lanes, where it was struck by an oncoming 2015 Nissan Rogue driven by 46-year-old Juan Gonzalez Bravo .
Gonzalez Bravo’s Rogue went on to collide with a 2021 Volkswagen Atlas.
During the crash, Edsol was thrown from the car when it rolled over.
He, like Rogue passenger Mercedes Segara, 72, was taken to an area hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Josue Medrano, 19, who was driving the Suburban that was rear-ended, was treated at a nearby hospital for minor injuries, as were four occupants, including a 5-year-old year old children.
The Ford Explorer was reportedly stolen earlier in the day from Randy’s Auto Repair shop located at 242 Medford Avenue in North Pachoge.
Edsall was charged with fourth-degree unlawful possession of stolen property and the car was impounded.
