People who live on the road say it can be dangerous.

"People drive way too fast on this road. There isn't a sidewalk on that section of the road, and it's really dangerous," Commack resident Stacy Renart said.

"I was hit twice coming into my driveway because they were speeding," Commack resident Joe Pollari said.

Investigators say the driver and her two passengers were not injured.

The SUV was impounded for a safety check.
