Among last week's road accidents were one in which a pedestrian was hurt and two involving drivers who apparently failed to brake for stop signs. Two witnesses told East Hampton Village police that a convertible was backing out of a parking space in the Reutershan lot at an unsafe speed on the afternoon of Sept. 13 when it struck a female pedestrian. Guy Roberts of New York City, 75, told police he didn't see Denise Fiorillo of East Hampton, 64, who complained of hip and leg pain and was taken by ambulance to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Mr. Roberts was ticketed after the accident.
On Sunday, a 24-year-old woman complained of neck pain after the vehicle she was riding in was hit by a car that may have run a stop sign. In the report of the accident, which occurred on Church Lane at Hollyoak Avenue in Springs shortly after 5 p.m., each driver claimed the other was at fault. Maria Corderolopez of East Hampton, 31, told police the car that struck her Toyota sedan had been speeding, while that driver, J.C. Ayavacaminchala of Montauk, 32, said Ms. Corderolopez had not stopped at the stop sign. Jessica Nivelo, who was one of five passengers in Ms. Ayavacaminchala's Chevrolet Suburban, refused medical attention at the scene. Hammer Towing hauled away the two cars, which both sustained heavy damage.
Christian A. Bravosinche of East Hampton, 25, told police he was looking at his cellphone when he missed a stop sign on Saturday afternoon, causing a crash. He hit a Toyota pickup truck driven by M.R. Fareztenesaca, 49, also of East Hampton, at the intersection of Gardiner Avenue and 17th Street in Springs. No one was hurt. Balcuns towed Mr. Bravosinche's Chevrolet pickup truck.
Another passenger was injured in a Sept. 13 accident at the intersection of Race Lane and Railroad Avenue in East Hampton Village. James Pressman of New York City, 72, was making a left turn in his Jeep, he told police, but did not see the Ford sedan driven by Thomas Snyder of East Hampton, 63. Mr. Snyder's passenger, Annette Snyder, 59, was taken by ambulance to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for treatment; the two cars were towed by Fireplace Auto and Balcuns, respectively.
At around 5 a.m. Friday, on Route 114 near Stonewall Court, a Toyota pickup truck crashed into a street sign, a fire hydrant, and a tree. Police found the truck, which was registered to Maria Chumbi of East Hampton, at the scene, but not the driver. The Suffolk County Water Authority was notified of the damage.
