A bicyclist was taken to the new Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department on Friday morning after being struck by a Subaru S.U.V. on Springs-Fireplace Road in East Hampton.
The driver, Diana Lynn Graham of East Hampton, 79, told town police she was turning left at the time and did not see the bicycle, which was approaching from the opposite direction, because of “a glare” from the sun.
Alisha Brianna Woods of Brooklyn, 39, had been riding along the shoulder when the S.U.V. turned into her path, she said, striking her bike and causing minor damage to it. She complained of pain in her right leg, and an ambulance was summoned to take her in for treatment.
Another left turn, this time in Amagansett, sent a woman to the hospital on Saturday after she was struck by an Audi S.U.V. while trying to cross Montauk Highway on a scooter.
Robin Colman of East Hampton, 72, the driver, was waiting for traffic to clear, he stated, before attempting a left turn from Abraham’s Path onto the highway, and did not see the scooter in the crosswalk. Amalie Kahn of East Hampton, 21, who was riding the scooter, told police she “had the go-ahead” to cross the road. She complained of abdominal pain and was transported by ambulance to the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department.
