Victoria Moller Obituary, Death News – A tragic crash in Jamesport on Thursday afternoon claimed the life of a Mattituck woman, according to Riverhead Town police. The incident occurred around 3:18 p.m. on Sound Avenue. Authorities reported that a 2016 white Subaru, traveling westbound, veered off the roadway for reasons still under investigation.
The vehicle crossed into the parking lot of Lumber and Salt, a business located along Sound Avenue, and collided with two parked cars. Fortunately, both of the vehicles struck were unoccupied at the time, preventing further injuries or fatalities.
The driver of the Subaru was identified as 75-year-old Victoria Moller of Mattituck. When first responders arrived at the scene, they found Moller unresponsive inside her vehicle. Emergency crews quickly transported her to Peconic Bay Medical Center, where medical personnel pronounced her dead shortly after arrival.
While the full cause of the crash has yet to be confirmed, investigators believe a medical issue may have played a significant role in the incident. Police noted that preliminary findings suggest Moller may have experienced a medical emergency while behind the wheel, leading her to lose control of the Subaru before it struck the parked vehicles.
In the aftermath of the crash, police temporarily closed a section of Sound Avenue to allow for emergency response and investigation. The closure caused some traffic disruptions in the area, but the road was reopened later once the scene was cleared.
The Riverhead Police Department’s detective squad is actively investigating the incident. Detectives are working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether any mechanical issues, road conditions, or other contributing factors played a role, aside from the possible medical event. An autopsy and medical review may provide additional insight into what caused Moller to lose control of her vehicle.
Authorities are also asking for assistance from the public. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has relevant information is encouraged to contact the Riverhead Police Department at 631-727-4500, extension 312. Investigators hope that potential eyewitness accounts or surveillance footage from nearby businesses could help piece together a clearer timeline of events.
The Jamesport community and surrounding areas are left mourning the sudden loss of Moller. Incidents such as these highlight the unpredictable nature of medical-related crashes, which can be especially devastating when they result in fatalities. While fortunate that no one else was injured during the accident, the outcome remains tragic for Moller’s family and friends.
As the investigation continues, police emphasize that more details will be shared once available. For now, the incident remains classified as an ongoing investigation, with authorities focusing on verifying whether a health-related emergency directly contributed to the crash.
This tragic event stands as a reminder of both the fragility of life and the importance of thorough investigation to provide answers and closure for loved ones left behind.
