A pair of accidents about 30 minutes apart kept Riverhead Police busy late Wednesday afternoon.
The first crash, at the intersection of Horton and Reeves avenues just before 4 p.m. sent two people to Peconic Bay Medical Center. Their injuries were not life-threatening, police said. Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded.
A Toyota westbound on Reeves Avenue entered the intersection in the path of a northbound Volvo, according to police at the scene. Neither vehicle carried any passengers.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
The second accident, at the intersection of Kroemer Avenue and Route 58 briefly snarled traffic just before 4:30 p.m.
A westbound Toyota turned left onto Kroemer Avenue into the path of an oncoming eastbound Jeep, police said. Both drivers, as well as the two passengers in each vehicle, escaped injury, according to police.
Both vehicles were towed from that scene as well.
