Intersection Crash

Police report a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Wasserman Way and Berkshire Road about 5 pm July 3.

Police said motorist Stacey Maddox, 37, of East Setauket, N.Y., who was driving a 2004 Cadillac Escalade SUV carrying four child passengers, stopped at a red traffic signal on Wasserman Way.

When the signal turned green, the Cadillac proceeded to make a right turn onto Berkshire Road, but then stopped after Maddox saw a motorist driving through a red traffic signal on Berkshire Road, police said.
