A 39-year-old Flanders man died Wednesday night after a car crash on Montauk Highway near the Bridgehampton Commons.

Jose Uceda-Saravia, who had been trapped and then extricated from the car in which he had been a passenger, died of his injuries at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. 

The crash occurred shortly after 11 p.m. "When officers arrived on scene, they found the driver of one of the vehicles uninjured and the two occupants of the second vehicle injured, one of them entrapped in the vehicle," Southampton Town police said. Bridgehampton Fire Department volunteers responded to free the trapped passenger, then took him by ambulance to the hospital.

The New York State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is assisting with the investigation. Southampton police said in a release Thursday morning that "no criminality is suspected" at this time.
