A cyclist was transported to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital on Friday afternoon after colliding with a BMW sedan on Route 114 in East Hampton.
John David Ziegelman of Bridgehampton, 61, was southbound on the road when the car, approaching from the opposite direction, turned left onto Harness Lane, and the bicycle hit it on the rear passenger side. Mr. Ziegelman was taken by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation of an injury to his right shoulder; his bike was taken back to town police headquarters in Wainscott for safekeeping.
The driver of the BMW, Paul Greenfield of East Hampton, 80, who was uninjured, stated that he had not seen the cyclist approaching as he turned “because of the sun glare.” The car sustained minor damage at the point of impact.
