The white van had two male occupants, the driver and a passenger, police said.

The collision caused the driver of the white van to be entrapped, requiring the North Sea Fire Department to respond to extricate him, police said.

Both occupants sustained injuries, police said.

The passenger was transported to a local area hospital by Southampton Volunteer Ambulance, with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

The driver was removed from the scene by the Suffolk County Police Department aviation and transported to Stony Brook University Hospital, as his injuries were more severe, police said.

Noyac Road was closed from Water Mill Towd Road to Roses Grove Road in both directions from the time of the crash at 6:50 a.m., until the vehicles were removed by local area tows at around 10:15 a.m., police said.

During that time, officers completed their preliminary investigation and, "due to the magnitude of the collision, and the destruction of both vehicles," it took an extended period of time for the tows to safely remove the vehicles, police said.

The vehicles were impounded for safety inspections, police said.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has any information is asked to call the Southampton Town Police Department's detective division at 631-702-2230.
