A 22-year old woman is in critical condition following a crash on the eastbound Southern State Parkway in Wantagh early Tuesday afternoon, according to police.
A state trooper at the crash scene said the female driver lost control of her vehicle around exit 28 (Wantagh Avenue) and plowed into a tree sideways. The woman was transported to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow with what the state trooper described as "life-threatening" injuries.
The accident on the Southern State Parkway forced the temporary closure of the eastbound lanes around exit 28 while police conducted an investigation.
