There was a three-vehicle accident on Sept. 13, at the Montauk Highway-Spring Close Highway intersection in East Hampton. At around 9 a.m., East Hampton Town police said, Kevin P. Kelly of Hauppauge, 55, was eastbound in a 2006 Mack utility truck when he was briefly distracted and ran into a trailer attached to a stopped 2001 Dodge pickup truck.

The truck driver, George E. Cooper of Kings Park, 21, told police he was trying to make a left onto Spring Close when it happened. Meanwhile, a third vehicle, a New York State Parks and Recreation Ford pickup driven by Justin J.

“I was lost, so I was looking at my phone, and I hit that car that came out of nowhere,” Maryann Z. Hommel of Long Beach, 31, told East Hampton Town police after rear-ending a 2007 Mercedes-Benz on Montauk Main Street early on the morning of Sept. 13.

Over the last two summers there have been a number of cocaine-related felony arrests of Montauk restaurant employees, and there was yet another last weekend.

A 2010 Toyota hit a train trestle last week, but unlike the familiar trestle collisions in East Hampton Village, the height of the vehicle was not the cause.
