Charge Dismissed in May 2 Crash

Thu, 06/26/2025 - 09:29

A woman who was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital after a May 2 car accident here had the misdemeanor drunken-driving charges against her dismissed on June 12 after a toxicology report from the hospital showed that she had no alcohol or drugs in her system.

Georgica Bogetti, who is 26 and lives in East Hampton, sustained injuries to her face when she hit a tree on Oakview Highway. Because of the severity of the injuries, police were unable to administer a roadside sobriety test, and a blood test was performed at the hospital. A May 29 article on the crash and the charges against her was based on a police report provided at the time.

“While the recovery process has been difficult — I sustained six fractured ribs, a fractured hip, and 30 to 50 fractures in my face — I’m incredibly grateful to be alive and healing,” Ms. Bogetti said in an email this week.
