A Springs man, Jeriel Rivera-Carrero, was charged on Jan. 3 with felony driving while intoxicated, the only such arrest to be reported last week.
The 36-year-old was turning left from Camberly Road into Norfolk Drive in Springs when he lost control of his 1998 Jeep, which crossed into the oncoming lane before striking a wooden fence. East Hampton Town police, who arrived soon after, said the driver did poorly on field sobriety tests before being charged. He was held for an appearance in Town Justice Court the next morning.
Elsewhere on the roads, deer caused two car accidents, one at 9 a.m. Sunday on Deep Lane in Amagansett, in which the car hit a tree and had to be towed, and the other on Napeague near Shipwreck Drive, around 3 p.m. on Jan. 4. Neither driver was injured.
