Suffolk County Transit buses

A Suffolk County Transit bus collided with another vehicle on Griffing Avenue this afternoon, snapped a utility pole and crashed into a brick office building on the corner of Griffing Avenue and Court Street, injuring six people.

A spokesperson for Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone told RiverheadLOCAL today the bus stop would be moved back to the train station “over the next few days.” The move to Griffing Avenue “clearly … wasn’t working out as intended,” the spokesperson said.

The two were passengers aboard a county bus and got into an argument when she asked him to wear a face mask while riding the bus, police said.

Town officials are asking the county bus company to relocate its bus stop away from the building at the Riverhead train station, which they hope will reduce loitering near the building.
