According to data from Town and Country Real Estate, one of the firms that has released its home sales report for the first half of 2017, the total number of home sales across all Hamptons markets decreased by 1 percent in the first half of this year compared to the same time period last year. That said, total home sales volume, or the cumulative price of home sales, and median home sales price both increased.

The Town and Country report, which compares home sales reports year to year, was released on July 18. The company uses three criteria to monitor home sales: number of home sales, median home sales price, and total home sales volume in dollars.

The total number of home sales decreased from 899 in the first half of 2016 to 891 so far this year. Only Southampton Village and Amagansett saw increases, but median home sales prices rose in Noyac, North Haven, Sag Harbor Village, North Sea, Southampton Village, East Hampton Village, Montauk, and the Bridgehampton, Water Mill, and Sagaponack area. 

In Southampton Village, the number of home sales rose from 37 in the first half of 2016 to 44 sales in the first half of 2017; total home sales volume rose 142 percent, and the median home sales price rose 58 percent from $1.95 million to around $3.1 million so far this year. According to the release, Southampton Village saw the greatest increase of all Hamptons markets, and four home sales were over $20 million.

The Water Mill and Sagaponack areas also saw increases in total home sales volume with over $333 million in sales. Seven homes sold for between $10 million and $19.99 million and one sold for over $20 million each.

Sag Harbor Village had a 3-percent decrease in the number of home sales, but an increase in the total home sales volume. The median home sales price increased nearly 20 percent, which puts it around $1.6 million. In the Noyac and North Haven areas there was a 20-percent increase in the median home sales price to $1.45 million.

Shelter Island did not fare as well as the other towns. All three criteria decreased, including the number of home sales, which went down 25 percent. The total home sales volume dropped 16 percent and the median home sales price went down nearly 11 percent, from $848,250 to $755,000.

Wainscott similarly saw decreases in the three criteria, but East Hampton Village saw a nearly 38-percent increase in the median home sales price, which is now at $3.3 million. Total home sales in dollars increased in Montauk, as did the median home sales price, which is now at $1.1 million. 

The Town and Country report said that Southampton Village, East Hampton Village, and Bridgehampton were the crown jewels of the real estate world, but “looking at all Hamptons markets combined it is clear the high end has made an impressive comeback from 2016.” Sales of houses priced in the $10 million to $19 million range rose 30 percent and sales in the $20 million range “shot up 50 percent.” But plenty of action occurred at the less-high end of the market, the report noted: “88 percent of all Hamptons home sales occurred under $3.5 [million].”

“Technology is the engine of innovation and job creation today,” said Christina Lewis Halpern, the founder and executive director of All Star Code, an organization that helps African-American and Latino boys learn about computer science and coding, in anticipation of its fourth annual benefit on Saturday at the Lewis residence in East Hampton.

If her father, the late Reginald Lewis, were a young man today, Ms. Halpern believes he would gravitate toward technology. As chairman and chief executive of TLC Beatrice International Holdings, Mr. Lewis was the first African-American to build a billion-dollar company. He and his wife, Loida, and their two children spent summers at Broadview, the 1916 mansion at the Bell Estate in Amagansett. Soon after it was destroyed by fire, in 1991, they bought an East Hampton oceanfront house.

One month before his death, in 1993, Mr. Lewis named his daughter, who was 12 at the time, to the board of his foundation. That, Ms. Halpern said, inspired her dedication to causes that help historically oppressed people. As a staff writer for The Wall Street Journal she experienced the educational gaps among young people and was led to seek ways to help talented minority students gain access to the technology industry, she said.

“Being a programmer is a ticket to the middle class,” she said last week. “But also, software is running our civilization. Imagine the tech industry: Only 10 percent is black or Latino, and the number who are engineers is even less.” All Star Code exists “to diversify the group of people who are building the tools that run civilization. It’s really important to creating a more equal world for everyone,” she said.

The All Star Code program creates a tech-startup environment for male high school students. The curriculum includes a six-week coding “boot camp” or summer intensive. Last year, 80 teenagers were seeded into technology firms, such as Google and Facebook, exposing them to new career paths, professional environments, and mentors.

More than 160 students were accepted into the boot camp this year. The program has a 100-percent completion rate, with 97.2 percent of alumni attending or accepted into four-year universities. Eighty-five percent of alumni are now majoring in or planning to major in computer science.

Saturday’s fund-raiser, from 5 to 9:30 p.m., will include an auction, with such enticements as a stay at a house in Cuba, at an apartment in Paris, and at a farm outside Pittsburgh. The gathering is “a wonderful mix, a diverse crowd from the tech industry, finance, and media,” Ms. Halpern said.

What happens when six children from New York City’s foster care system arrive in the Hamptons in mid-July for 10 days? A community shows such generosity, it combats the usual stereotypes associated with the summer landscape of mega money, moguls, and mansions.

The children came, as they do each year, to attend Camp Erutan (nature backward), founded by Lisa Tanzman, a California native, as a way for inner city foster children to spend time in the outdoors participating in activities to help heal and mend. Ms. Tanzman’s mantra is that one positive action can make a difference in a life, and her goal, whenever possible, is to reunite siblings often separated by the foster care system.

Zamian, 13, and his sister, Precious, 10, are two of them. He is guarded; she is a live wire. The siblings, who have attended the camp for four years, were separated eight years ago when they were placed in foster homes in Queens. Zamian was labeled “difficult” and moved four times. Ms. Tanzman said that the boy has already been told he will be moving again after camp. Scheduled visits between siblings do not happen as regularly as they should, she explained, and when they do, it is usually for just an hour.

Last Tuesday, while campers did art projects on picnic tables and benches provided by the East Hampton Town Parks and Recreation Department, Zamian and Precious were huddled together on a canvas spread over the grass, comparing their work. At dinner,  a few days later, everyone cited something they were grateful for. “I’m thankful for Zamian being here,” announced Precious.

This is Camp Erutan’s 30th anniversary and for 24 years the campsite has been on a spectacular bluff overlooking Gardiner’s Bay, courtesy of Mary Ryan, who owns the land. Once the site of a  girls’ camp, the 18-plus acres are now protected by the Ryan family under an agricultural easement with the Peconic Land Trust. Scott Chaskey of the trust’s Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett grows vegetables in one corner, Paul Hamilton of Fireplace Farm has a plot in another. Both farmers allow the children to harvest for the camp’s mostly vegetarian dinners.

“For 10 days, these kids are in a magical place where their wants come first,” said Ms. Tanzman. “That’s not something they’re used to.” When Camp Erutan first started, she invited social services employees to participate, hopeful that they would witness acts of kindness and incorporate them into the system. Instead, she said, they were simply unable to deal with children being given choices and encouraged to express themselves.

Ms. Tanzman, who lives near Hearst Castle in California, owns a merchandising company that produces “anything with a logo on it” for Broadway shows and sports and corporate events, and her success in that business allows her to be philanthropic. At the start of camp, each attendee is given a backpack stuffed with journals, pens, water bottles, T-shirts, a laundry bag, and even a “Good Vibrations” beach towel from the failed Broadway show.

“It’s like Christmas in July,” said Christina Victorio, who first attended the camp as an 8-year-old after her father was murdered and she was referred to Ms. Tanzman through Safe Horizons, a nationwide victims’ assistance organization. Today, Ms. Victorio is 23 and volunteers as a Camp Erutan counselor. 

Kindness is tangible on the South Fork, Ms. Tanzman believes, as “angels” seem to always appear out of nowhere. Goldberg’s Bagels, for instance, gives the camp bagels and cream cheese for breakfasts. East Hampton Town donated a beach permit for the group’s bus, allowing it to park at local beaches. Second Nature, the health food store in East Hampton, donated supplies. Lynda Stokes, an East Hampton resident, invited campers to her house for a swim followed by a lunch of fried chicken and cake. East End Stables provided horseback riding and taught the youngsters how to care for the horses. A neighbor of the Ryans has made a macaroni and cheese dinner a beloved annual tradition, and Quail Hill puts on a lunch for campers at its orchard in Amagansett.

Then, there’s the anonymous angel this year who paid for swimming lessons for the campers, arranged for a dance class with Olivia Bowman-Jackson — an ex-principal with Alvin Ailey — paddle boarding lessons, and a dinner for the entire camp at the Palm restaurant in East Hampton. So that the campers would look their smartest when they dined at the Palm, Ms. Tanzman drove the group to T.J. Maxx in Bridgehampton to buy new clothes. Many of them have never even eaten in a restaurant before.

Amy and Anteus (“people call me Ant”) are 10-year-old twins. Amy is exceptionally articulate and last year she was crowned Master Negotiator at camp. When told that she is smart, she replied, “We don’t have a choice; we have to be.” Together with their 13-year-old sister, Athina, the twins have attended Camp Erutan for the last five years. Anteus spends much of his time with Zamian, the only other boy his age. They wanted to play basketball so Ms. Tanzman ordered a portable basketball hoop and set it up for the boys. While Zamian remained evasive, Anteus tried desperately to counter any negatives with a nervous optimism and a 1,000-watt smile.

“Dinner is vegetarian chili tonight,” announced Ms. Tanzman one evening.

“Why does it have to be vegetarian,” moaned Zamian.

“Because it’s a nature camp,” whispered Anteus to his friend. “It’ll be good.”

Shiaasia is 15 and lives in a foster home with Precious in Queens. This is her third summer at Camp Erutan and she seems to act as a big sister to the often rambunctious Precious. Shiaasia had a breakthrough last week: She overcame her fear of swimming in the bay. Thanks to her swim lessons, she learned to tread water and that made her proud.

Since 1999, Ms. Tanzman has been assisted by Karen Huurman, a special education science teacher from Brooklyn. Ms. Huurman’s 15-year-old adopted daughter, Izzi, has accompanied her to Camp Erutan for the last 12 years. On the night when everyone was giving thanks for something, Izzi said, “I’m grateful for the kindness of people in the Hamptons. Especially the ones who let us into their home so we could do our laundry.”

Today, after packing up their tents and leaving the bluff spotless, the children will board a train in Amagansett and head back to the city. Leaving, said Amy, is the hardest part of Camp Erutan. “But that’s okay,” she added, “I’ll be back next year, and the next year, and the next year, and so on and so forth.”

East Hampton’s new port security vessel, a 42-foot boat that will be stationed in Montauk to fight fires and assist the Coast Guard with its duties under the Department of Homeland Security, will be christened in a ceremony on Wednesday. It will be named for John L. Behan of Montauk.

The $600,000 boat, which was delivered in early June and can travel at a speed of 30 knots, was purchased in part with a $450,000 grant from the federal homeland security agency; the town contributed $150,000, or 25 percent of the cost.

A built-in water pump will enable Montauk firefighters to use the boat to fight boat fires or to battle shoreside fires from the water. Local firemen are being trained and certified to use it, Ed Michels, the town’s chief harbormaster, said this week. 

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said Tuesday that he had suggested naming the boat for Mr. Behan, who grew up in Montauk. A highly decorated Vietnam War veteran, Mr. Behan served as a New York State assemblyman as well as an East Hampton Town assessor, and as the director of the state’s Division of Veterans Affairs.

“The thought of the town honoring him in some way has been something I’ve been thinking about for some time,” Mr. Cantwell said. In addition to Mr. Behan’s record of public service, his family history makes the honor particularly appropriate and special, said Mr. Cantwell. “A lot of people don’t realize,” he said, that Mr. Behan’s father, Lester Behan, “was one of the great party boat fishermen . . . really commercial fishermen. And John grew up . . . his whole family was involved in the fishing industry in Lake Montauk.”

The commissioning ceremony will be held at the United States Coast Guard Station on Star Island in Montauk beginning at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The public has been invited to attend, and light refreshments will be served. Among the attendees, besides Mr. Cantwell, will be East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo, Capt. Andrew Tucci of the Coast Guard Long Island Sound, and Vincent Franzone, the Montauk Fire Department chief.

In other news from the Montauk dock, a Montauk fishing boat that has been taking on water in its berth at the town commercial dock was hauled out this week before becoming fully submerged or leaking any pollutants, Mr. Michels said on Tuesday.

The Sylvia S., a large wooden dragger owned by Chris Wood, has been in use in Montauk since around 1959, Mr. Michels said, and was fishing up until a short time ago.

Its owner notified officials about its condition last week, and the Gone Fishing Marina in Montauk pulled it from the water for disposal. It could not be repaired.

The town board voted on Tuesday to appropriate $15,000 to pay the marina so that the boat could be immediately dealt with, but will seek compensation from its owner.

“I just didn’t want it sunk in the slip; it makes it much harder,” Mr. Michels said. The main concern, he said, was the potential for pollution, but there was “not a drop.” Mr. Wood has been working with the town to resolve the situation, Mr. Michels said.

Soldier Ride of the Hamptons, a day of cycling, food, and music to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, will take place on Saturday, starting and finishing in Amagansett.

It will include a 5K walk in Sag Harbor from Marine Park on Bay Street that will start at 11 a.m.

The Wounded Warrior Project offers assistance to veterans recovering from injuries sustained while in the military and helps them to acclimate back to civilian life. It offers rehabilitative retreats, peer support, and employment assistance.

Registration for cyclists opens at 7 a.m. at Ocean View Farm at 551 Montauk Highway in Amagansett. After an opening ceremony, the ride will begin at 9 a.m. There are two lengths: one 25 miles and the other 60. According to the East Hampton Town Police Department, about 800 participants are expected.

Both rides follow Montauk Highway west into East Hampton Village, then up Long Lane to Stephen Hand's Path and Route 114 to Sag Harbor. After a half-hour rest, riders will make a lap around Sag Harbor's Main Street and over the Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter Veterans Memorial Bridge to North Haven, then return to the Amagansett start via Route 114, Dunemere and Further Lanes in East Hampton, and Bluff Road in Amagansett.

Cyclists staying on for the entire 60-mile loop will continue east on Montauk Highway to the Montauk Lighthouse and back.

Following the ride, there will be a party at Ocean View Farm with music and a picnic for participants from noon to 4 p.m.

The cost of the cycling rides for participants registering at the start is $50. A separate registration and packet pickup for the 5K walk will begin in Marine Park in Sag Harbor at 9 a.m. Riders under age 12 may be eligible for a $5 discount.

No road closings for the ride have been announced. East Hampton Town police said that motorists should expect delays at Stephen Hand's Path and on roads leading to Sag Harbor on Saturday morning.

Firefighters are battling a house fire in the estate section of Southampton Village Friday afternoon. The fire was reportedly through the roof at 104 Halsey Neck Lane, a six-bedroom, eight-bath house that sold for $11.5 million in 2014. 

The Southampton Fire Department was called about 1:50 p.m. They asked for assistance from the Hampton Bays, North Sea, and Bridgehampton Fire Departments. In addition, the East Hampton Fire Department is standing by at Southampton's headquarters in case there are other calls, and Sag Harbor firefighters are standing by in North Sea. 

Firefighters are working in already grueling heat. Temperatures in Southampton are around 85 degrees. 

Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming, a former member of the Southampton Town Board, announced on Friday her intention to seek re-election to the Legislature for a second two-year term.

In a release on Friday Ms. Fleming, a Democrat, referred to her advocacy for East End interests including clean water, preservation of natural resources, battling tick-borne diseases and opioid use, and promoting economic development.

She touted initiatives including the securing of $2.5 million in capital spending for water quality and infrastructure, which includes earmarks for a pump-out station at the Shinnecock Canal, stormwater improvements at the Riverside roundabout and Lake Agawam in Southampton, marine education and aquaculture at the Tiana Lifesaving Station, and the first-of-its-kind nitrogen removing sanitary system at Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island.

She also referred to funding for restoration of the Cedar Island Lighthouse, a pedestrian safety study for County Road 39, and construction of the Riverside roundabout.

"Serving in county government offers the opportunity for regional solutions on behalf of multiple towns to support and improve our community," Ms. Fleming said in a statement. "I will continue to look for opportunities to strengthen our economy, protect our precious and fragile environment, keep our people healthy, and draw on my experience as a fraud prosecutor to ensure that government handles your tax dollars wisely and efficiently."

She serves on the Legislature's environment, planning and agriculture, health, public safety, publics works, transportation and energy, and ways and means committees. She is chairwoman of the latter committee.

Ms. Fleming's district, the Second Legislative District, comprises the South Fork from Montauk to Moriches and Shelter Island.

In addition to the Democratic Party, Ms. Fleming, who lives in Noyac, is supported by the Independence, Working Families, and Women's Equality Parties.

She will face the Republican candidate Heather Collins, who ran for State Assembly in 2014 and 2016. Election Day is Nov. 7.

A three-vehicle pileup on Montauk Highway in Wainscott Tuesday afternoon that involved a school bus sent two people to the hospital. The bus had no children in it at the time. 

The accident occurred in the westbound lane at around 12:30 p.m. in front of the Wainscott Village Shopping Center, causing a traffic logjam in the area.

Police said a utility truck hit the back of a Subaru Forester, causing the Subaru to hit the school bus in front of it. The entire back window of the Subaru was shattered, and both the driver and her passenger were taken to Southampton Hospital by a Bridgehampton Fire Department ambulance.

The drivers of the utility truck and the school bus were not injured.

The Southampton Town Democratic Committee has challenged almost all the signatures on Fred Havemeyer’s petition to force a primary in September against Supervisor Jay Schneiderman — 95 percent of them.

Yesterday, Mr. Havemeyer called it a dirty tactic to wipe out the competition. Mr. Schneiderman, for his part, claimed Mr. Havemeyer had used the names of his running mates as a way to gain signatures, and also that he had used a “deeply offensive” phrase in speaking to the media.

Gordon Herr, the committee chairman, confirmed Tuesday that the committee had filed a general objection with the Suffolk County Board of Elections the day before, challenging 671 of the 699 signatures on Mr. Havemeyer’s petition. He needs at least 500 signatures to run a primary.

Mr. Schneiderman, a member of the Independence Party, has the Democratic nomination to run for a second term as supervisor. Mr. Havemeyer, a Bridgehampton resident who was a Southampton Town trustee for more than 10 years, announced in June that he planned to fight Mr. Schneiderman, who lives in Southampton Village, for the party line. Ray Overton, a former town trustee who lives in Westhampton, has the backing of the town Republican party.

“The developer-backed political machine apparently will stop at nothing to retain their stranglehold on our town,” Mr. Havemeyer emailed The Star yesterday, adding that Mr. Schneiderman had said he “welcomes a political challenge, while on the other hand he unleashes his political Gestapo to shoot down our petition of almost 700 voters anxious to have their voices heard.”

“The will of the people and free choice are simply viewed as impediments by them,” he continued. “Jay Schneiderman and company should be ashamed of themselves for their transparently low behavior.”

In rebuttal, Mr. Schneiderman said it was Mr. Havemeyer who should be sorry. “Mr. Havemeyer’s statement referring to my campaign team as ‘Gestapo’ is deeply offensive and reveals the true character of Mr. Havemeyer, who should offer an immediate apology.”

“I welcome a political challenge, but it must be lawful,” said the supervisor. “I have every right under New York State election law to ensure the legal process for a primary challenge is followed. Mr. Havemeyer’s petitions were replete with fundamental legal deficiencies, including a significant number of non-Democrat registered voters.”

     Mr. Havemeyer was asked to run by David Reisfield of Long Island Environmental Voters Forum and Dick Amper of the Pine Barrens Society, both of which opposed the Hills at Southampton, a planned development district in East Quogue. A controversial project that would include a golf course as well as houses, it is the last such district to come before the Southampton Town Board, which recently repealed a law allowing for such applications.

     While Mr. Herr, the party chairman, would not go into detail about the primary challenge, Mr. Reisfield, who has been running Mr. Havemeyer’s campaign, said the challenges were based on witnesses’ signatures missing town and/or county information. He cited a 2006 Appellate Court finding that the failure to provide such information “should not be considered a fatal defect.”

“We find this to be highly dubious and can only see it as Jay trying to get out from under a primary he could easily lose,” Mr. Reisfield said, adding “Schneiderman is looking desperate, early.”

“If anybody is acting in a desperate fashion, it appears that would be Havemeyer and the people associated with that campaign,” Mr. Schneiderman said yesterday, before hearing of the “Gestapo” comment. He said he was running on his strong record and felt confident of victory. “I did not use paid petition-gatherers to get on the ballot or create a petition to lure people in by using names that I did not have permission to use,” he added.    Using paid canvassers is not illegal. Mr. Havemeyer said they were used only at the end of what he called “a grassroots campaign.”

“We collected over 1,000 signatures, and it was all done by volunteers,” said Mr. Schneiderman. “I didn’t have to pay people to canvass for me, they did that willingly.”

“Sure, he had the Democratic political machine behind him,” Mr. Havemeyer said. “All he had to do was sit in an armchair and smoke a cigar.”

While it is not the Democrats’ primary worry, said the supervisor, he himself is concerned about the way the petition was presented. He said people thought they were signing for him, because it used the names of Julie Lofstad and Thomas John Schiavoni, whom the Democrats are backing for town board. Mr. Schneiderman claims Mr. Havemeyer’s petition was represented as the Democratic slate.

Mr. Havemeyer said that those two names were on the petition, having received the Democratic nomination. “It certainly wasn’t done to dupe the voters,” he said. 

Both camps agree on one thing. If necessary, each will go to court to fight the Board of Elections decision, which is expected this week.

The primary is scheduled for Sept. 12

The driver of a pickup truck that crashed in Northwest Woods Sunday morning was seriously injured, according to East Hampton Town police. The accident might have gone unreported had a bicyclist not noticed the truck in the woods and called 911 just after 7.

The truck landed in the woods off Northwest Road, about half a mile north of Lyme Lane and south of Alewife Brook Road. Steven M. Lane of Hampton Bays, 25, the sole occupant, was unconscious, had suffered a head injury, and was bleeding severely, the responding officers reported. Based on interviews with people who were with Mr. Lane shortly before the 911 call, Capt. Chris Anderson said the crash occurred within minutes of the call. No one actually saw it happen, he said.

The East Hampton Fire Department’s heavy rescue squad extricated the driver from the 1989 Chevrolet pickup using the Jaws of Life, cutters, and hydraulic rams. The accident report indicated he was not wearing a seat belt.

The East Hampton Village Ambulance Association was going to medevac Mr. Lane to Stony Brook University Hospital, but when the ambulance arrived at the East Hampton Airport the patient was deemed too critical to fly and was taken to Southampton Hospital instead. Once stabilized, he was flown to Stony Brook, where, as of yesterday, he was listed in critical condition.

Detectives took measurements at the scene to reconstruct the crash, and determined that the truck had failed to navigate “a left-hand bend” on Northwest Road before striking a tree on the west side of the road. The investigation is continuing.

A passenger in a 2008 Chevrolet sedan was flown to Stony Brook on July 10 after a two-car accident at the intersection of Napeague Harbor Road and Route 27 in Amagansett.

At 6:40 p.m., Yesid M. Gonzalez, 42, of East Hampton, the driver of the westbound sedan, which was registered to a Yury F. Ortigoza of East Elmhurst, struck the right side of an eastbound 2015 BMW that was turning left onto Napeague Harbor Road. Mr. Gonzalez, who told police the BMW driver failed to yield the right-of-way and cut in front of him, suffered a right-arm laceration and chest pain. He was transported to Southampton Hospital.

His passenger, Luis A. Sanchez-Torres, 52, who was in the back seat, was not wearing a seatbelt, police said. He hit his head on the front windshield, which gave him lacerations on his face and head, and he complained of neck and chest pain. He was taken to a landing zone in Amagansett and then airlifted to Stony Brook.

The BMW driver, Joan R. McDonell of Amagansett, 73, was charged with failure to yield the right of way. She told police she was experiencing minor stomach pain but declined to be taken to Southampton Hospital.

At around noon last Thursday, a 2004 Chevrolet utility truck ignored a clearance sign at the train trestle on Daniel’s Hole Road in East Hampton, and the top of the truck hit the bridge. Police charged Jose F. Torres of Mastic, 58, with exceeding bridge clearance. No injuries were reported.

On a foggy Saturday at 7:15 a.m., a van pulling out of the Montauk 7-Eleven hit the front wheel of a bicycle. The bicyclist, Lenard Rodney of Montauk, 63, told police he had been headed east on the westbound sidewalk when it happened. He said he did not fall, but felt pain in his right ankle. He declined medical treatment.

The driver of a 1999 Dodge pickup was taken to Southampton Hospital on Sunday after a 9 a.m. collision with a 2013 Hyundai at the intersection of Route 27 and Old Montauk Highway in Montauk.

The driver of the Hyundai, Gayane L. Barrett of Riverhead, 29, told town police he was attempting to turn from Old Montauk Highway onto Route 27 but did not accelerate fast enough, causing the collision with the pickup. Its driver, Igor Solando, 55, of Montauk, had a lower leg injury. He told police he had had no time to prevent the collision.

Mr. Barrett’s license was found to be suspended, and he was charged accordingly.
