An East Hampton man told village police he was looking down at his phone last Friday afternoon when his 2016 Chevrolet pickup truck ran into a 2018 Tesla at the intersection of Pantigo and Accabonac Roads.

The Tesla driver, Russell Diamond of Sag Harbor, was stopped in westbound traffic when Ivan Mesa of East Hampton rear-ended his vehicle.

A passenger in the Tesla reported whiplash — hip, neck, and back pain — but declined medical treatment. Hammer Towing pulled the Tesla to its Wainscott lot.

Two neighbors on Georgica Road called police Saturday because one has been trimming the other’s hedge, which he does not want trimmed. The trimmer called the work a “neighborly gesture” based on his neighbor’s neglect of “landscaping and upkeep.”
