Two recent car accidents on East Hampton Town and Village roads resulted in injuries, including a suspected concussion suffered by an 8-year-old girl in a crash on the afternoon of Nov. 9.

The girl was taken by ambulance to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital after the collision, which occurred at Accabonac Road and Collins Avenue.
