A Nissan sedan collided with a Range Rover on Amagansett’s Main Street last Thursday afternoon, causing injury to a passenger.
Ra S. Pradhan of Flushing, 65, told police he had been eastbound on Main Street near the Hedges Lane intersection, had not seen the Range Rover beginning to make a right turn in front of him, and had run into its back passenger side. Mr. Pradhan was not hurt, but his passenger, Indi Pradhan, 65, complained of elbow pain and was taken by ambulance to the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department.
Robert. J. Citrino III of Amagansett, 62, the driver of the Range Rover, confirmed that he had been turning right off Main Street and into his driveway when, he said, the Nissan “all of a sudden” hit the back of his vehicle. He was not injured.
The S.U.V. was damaged at the point of impact but did not require a tow. The Nissan, however, sustained significant front-end damage and was collected by George Miller Towing.
Town police also released the report this week of a collision between a BMW and a Buick on the afternoon of Oct. 26 in Springs, in which the driver of one car was injured, as was a passenger in the other.
Richard Robson of East Hampton, 54, was headed south in the Buick on Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road near the intersection of Gallatin Lane, when, he told police, the BMW approached from the opposite direction and veered into his lane. He honked, he said, but it continued straight toward him. He pulled off the road to avoid it, but the BMW turned left and struck the back of his car.
The BMW driver, Paul Sparks of New York City, 73, was reportedly “incoherent” when officers arrived, stating that he “could not remember much of what happened” or where he had been prior to the accident. The vehicle was registered to Marshall Watson of East Hampton, 73, who was called to the scene and told officers that Mr. Sparks was his husband and suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.
Mr. Sparks was transported by ambulance to the East Hampton Emergency Department. Mr. Robson was not injured, but his passenger, Sheldene Schlesinger, 85, complained of head pain; she too was taken to the emergency department, in another ambulance. Both vehicles were collected by Hammer Towing.
