Honda Came From Behind

Wed, 02/03/2021 - 16:40

Christine King, 54, of East Hampton was turning left from Springs-Fireplace Road onto Gardiner's Avenue in Springs on the evening of Jan. 27 when a Honda came from behind and tried to pass her. Instead, it collided with her 2015 Ford, she told East Hampton Town police.

Sydney Sessions of Glen Allen, Va., 25, confirmed that she had crossed the double yellow line in trying to pass the Ford, and had run off the road following the collision, into a split-rail fence.

Ms. King was taken to Southampton Stony Brook Hospital by Springs ambulance for bruises to her forehead and released after treatment. Ms. Sessions's car was towed by Fireplace Auto Collision.

Icy roads made for treacherous conditions on Northwest Landing Road, East Hampton, on Jan. 26 at 10:15 a.m., and again on Monday morning at the intersection of Springs-Fireplace Road and Abraham's Path in East Hampton. Neither driver was injured.

Montauk saw two car-deer collisions last week. One happened on Jan. 27 at 4:30 p.m., on Edgemere Street near Industrial Road; the other on Fairview Avenue near South Ferris Street at 8 p.m. last Thursday. Also last Thursday, a deer and a car crossed paths at 7 a.m. on Route 114 near Goodfriend Drive.

It Was S.U.V. on S.U.V.

On June 23, a Subaru S.U.V. rear-ended a Toyota S.U.V. at Carl Fisher Plaza in Montauk. That evening, two other S.U.V.s collided in Wainscott and had to be towed away. And more news of the roads.

Driver Leaves Path of Destruction at Montauk Art Show

Early Sunday morning, it looked as if a small tornado had torn through the Montauk Green and the Montauk Artists Association Art Show. Instead, East Hampton Town police say the destruction — which wiped out the inventory of some participating artists — was caused by a drunken driver.
