Hot Tea and a Hospital Trip

Thu, 10/24/2024 - 11:00

Two women were taken to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital on the morning of Oct. 15 after their southbound Honda hit a telephone pole on Flamingo Avenue in Montauk, near Mulford Avenue.

The driver, Janetta Rowe of Montauk, 66, told East Hampton Town police she looked away from the road while handing “a hot cup of tea” to her passenger, Mitzie Ratcliffe, 59. The car went off the roadway and sideswiped the telephone pole and a tree.

Both women reported pain throughout their bodies, though police did not immediately observe any physical injuries. They were taken by ambulance to the hospital; the Honda was towed by Marshall & Sons of Montauk.
