Dix Hills NY crash injures Maxx Waite, suspect faces DWI charge

DIX HILLS, NY (April 3, 2026) – A two-vehicle crash early Friday morning in Dix Hills left Maxx Waite, 21, seriously injured, Suffolk County police said.

The accident occurred around 2:20 a.m. when a 2016 Dodge Ram, driven by a 45-year-old Nesconset man, struck a 2010 Volkswagen attempting a left turn from westbound East Jericho Turnpike onto East Deer Park Road. Waite, driving the Volkswagen, was taken to Huntington Hospital. The Nesconset driver suffered minor injuries and was charged with driving while intoxicated.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.


CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Drunk-driving accidents put everyone at risk. Every 85 seconds, someone in the U.S. is injured or killed in a DWI crash, according to MADD.

Candice Bond of Bond Legal said independent investigations are vital. “Attorneys can interview witnesses, review surveillance, and access phone records to ensure the facts are clear,” she said, serving as a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Prompt review of evidence is essential to protect the victim’s rights and future claims,” Bond added.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Maxx Waite may pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica noted that serious injuries can disrupt life, finances, and well-being.

“Victims should hire an attorney to negotiate with insurance companies,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often push for quick, low settlements. Attorneys advocate to ensure fair treatment and proper compensation for injuries,” he added.
