East Northport man hurt in crash

An East Northport man was seriously injured early this morning after he lost control of his car and hit a pole in Greenlawn, Suffolk police said.

Kyle Herman, 20, of 507 4th Ave., was driving a 1994 Saturn east on Wells Road in Greenlawn around 12:15 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle. The car then struck a utility pole on the south side of the roadway, in front of 99 Wells Rd., police said.

Greenlawn firefighters removed Herman from the Saturn and he was taken by police helicopter to the Stony Brook University Medical Center, where he was admitted in critical condition with severe head injuries.

The car was impounded for a safety check and police are investigating the incident.
