At 6:31 am the Islip Fire Department and the Exchange Ambulance were notified to a report of a car into the canal at Ocean Ave and West Bayberry Rd. Islip units arrived to find a single car accident with a vehicle partially submerged approximately 60 feet out into the water. An Islip Town Park Ranger had arrived prior and entered the water to help the driver out of the vehicle. The two then were able to make their way back to the bulkhead where Islip crews assisted the two out of the water. Both were transported by Islip FD and Exchange Ambulance crews to Southside Hospital. Islip crews then deployed surface rescuers to search the vehicle to ensure there were no additional victims. The search of the car proved negative and the scene was then turned over to the Suffolk County Police Department. ... See MoreSee Less
