Three people suffer non-life threatening injuries in crash in Huntington Station Friday night.

Melville Fire Department volunteers were dispatched to a head-on collision Friday at approximately 9:30 p.m. on New York Avenue and Wolf Hill Road.

The crash involved a Dodge Ram pickup truck towing a trailer, and a Honda Pilot sports utility vehicle. Three occupants suffered non-life threatening injuries and were transported to Huntington and North Shore/Plainview hospitals by the Melville Rescue Squad.
