A man was sitting on the train tracks near the East Hampton Railroad Station, a 911 caller reported on Tuesday evening. A responding officer found the man who said he lived in Riverhead standing on a sidewalk. He explained that he had been waiting for a bus and said he would stay off the tracks.
In a three-car evening mix-up on April 14 at Cedar Street and Stephen Hand's Path in East Hampton, an 18-year-old East Hampton driver identified by police as W.A. Minchalabernal was injured after his car hit another vehicle and then struck a tree.
This week, police arrested two drivers who were behind the wheel when they should not have been. Bonnie Rychlak, 69, of East Hampton was charged with both driving while intoxicated and having .08 of 1 percent alcohol or more in her blood on the night of April 11 when she hit and injured a bicyclist on Old Stone Highway near La Foret Lane, police said.
