A car driven by a 19-year-old Locust Valley man was broadsided by a Lexus sedan at the intersection of Ostrander Avenue and Second Street early Tuesday afternoon.

The young man, Michael Consalato, said he had just left the aquarium where he went for a shark dive and was driving his father's Cadillac southbound on Ostrander Avenue. A Lexus sedan driven by Lois Reeve, no name or address provided, was eastbound on Second Street at about 1 p.m. and hit the passenger side of Consalato's vehicle, police at the scene said.

The shark dive was a lot scarier than the accident, Consalato told a reporter.

No summonses were issued in the incident, according to police.

Reeve was transported by Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps to Peconic Bay Medical Center for treatment of lacerations to the the knee, police said.
