27 people displaced after car slams into Huntington Station assisted living facility

Rich, Aaron, I mean, take a look here behind me. I mean, this is the Manor Haven Adult Home, and you can see the area where the car plunged right into the side of it, right through the bushes here and into the side of the building, and there is some pretty significant damage. Twenty-seven residents had to be displaced because of this damage here to the building. Take a look at some of the video from the scene last night. Suffolk County Police say that officers responded to the assisted living facility at 222 Columbia Street a little after 10 o'clock last night. Investigators said the driver in this Honda Civic was going north on McKinley Road when the car left the roadway and struck the building. Now the driver fled the scene leaving their car behind before police arrived. Video from the scene shows the red car with significant front end damage as water gushed out of the building. Suffolk County fire officials said the crash caused the basement to flood and the utilities had to be shut off. Luckily, no one was injured, but those 27 residents had to be relocated to multiple adult homes. Right now, we do not know how many homes took those people in or where those facilities are. We are working to get more information. The Huntington Town Building Department was here looking at the damage. We've reached out this morning very early to try and get a sense of exactly what the extent of the damage is and what it'll take to reopen. We'll bring an update as soon as we hear back. And we do know this morning that the Red Cross is working to get people who were displaced here relocated into at least some temporary homes for the night or for the foreseeable future. We've reached out to the Red Cross as well, so we're waiting to hear back from them to see what their plan is. So a lot of moving pieces as we go throughout the morning. We'll work to get more answers, and we'll bring you those updates. For now, we're in Huntington Station in Suffolk County. Jonathan Gordon, News 12.
