Tractor Trailer Overturns in Bridgehampton

A tractor trailer carrying sand flipped over onto its side in Bridgehampton Friday morning, spilling its contents all over the road and injuring the driver. 

The accident reportedly occurred as the driver was making a left from Scuttlehole Road onto Brick Kiln Road just before 9 a.m. The Bridgehampton Fire Department's rescue squad was called to respond, but Chief Charles Broadmeadow called them off after the driver got out of the truck with help from bystanders.

The department's ambulance responded, and advanced life support was also requested. The driver was airlifted to Stony Brook University Medical Center. The helicopter landed at the Bridgehampton Fire Department ball field. 

Brick Kiln Road was closed as the sand was cleaned up. Scuttlehole Road remained open while the Southampton Town police and fire police remained on scene.
