Walter Vivar-Villacis, 28, of Springs was charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving an injury, a felony, after an Oct. 16 incident near the corner of Railroad Avenue and Lumber Lane in East Hampton Village.
It happened at about 7:20 p.m. Mr. Vivar-Villacis, an unlicensed driver at the wheel of a 2007 Honda Civic registered to Fausto Dumancela of Springs-Fireplace Road, allegedly failed to yield the right of way to a pedestrian, Alfredo Morales, and struck him. The police report does not give Mr. Morales's age or the extent of his injuries.
Mr. Vivar-Villacis, a carpenter by trade, was fingerprinted at the New York State Police Riverside barracks, which are being utilized by Suffolk County police and prosecutors during the ongoing malware crisis, and then released. He is scheduled to be arraigned next Thursday in East Hampton Town Justice Court.
