Driver injured after smashing into Long Island brewery doorway Stream New York's #1 news - AccuWeather - original content 24/7 Tuesday, November 10, 2026 7:19PM Share Follow abc7NY on Google PECONIC, New York (WABC) -- A driver swerved and plowed through the doorway of Greenport Harbor Brewing Company in Peconic Monday night. An investigation found that a man driving a 2026 Toyota Highlander traveling westbound on Route 25 swerved to avoid a vehicle that crossed into his lane of travel. He then struck support wires of a PSEG utility pole and drove through the Long Island brewery. No one was inside the building at the time of the crash, but the driver was left injured. He was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment. The crash caused significant damage to the building. It will be closed for a week or so, pending repairs; however, the Tasting Room and Beer Gardens will remain open as it was unaffected by the crash. The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed. ---------- * More Long Island news * Send us a news tip * Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts * Download our connected TV app Submit a tip or story idea to Eyewitness News Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
