1. Suffolk Police Officer Is In Medically Induced Coma: The Suffolk County police officer who was hit by an alleged drunk driver in Yaphank on Tuesday is now in a medically induced coma.
   Officer Tim Thrane is at Stony Brook Hospital surrounded by his family and fellow officers. The 35 year old suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain after, police say, William Peterson drove drunk and barreled into an accident scene. (News12)
2. Patchogue Bowling Alley Closes Permanently: After 13 years of business and pandemic challenges, the Eggert family has made the difficult decision to close Bowl Long Island in Patchogue for good.
