Her car traveled over a median at the traffic circle, hit a road sign and then a utility pole, police said.

The woman told police she does not remember what happened. The accident happened at about 8:30 a.m.

She was transported to Peconic Bay Medical Center by Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
