Accident Briefly Closes Napeague Stretch
A crash involving a pool company pickup truck on the Napeague stretch of Montauk Highway Wednesday morning briefly closed the road while pool chemicals were removed.
The accident occurred in front of the Clam Bar restaurant at about 10:30 a.m. While it was unclear how the accident happened, a Range Rover and the pickup, belonging to Sea Crystal Pools of Islandia, smashed into each other, sending the Range Rover into the bushes at the Clam Bar. A woman, the driver of the Range Rover, was taken to Southampton Hospital by the Amagansett Fire Department's ambulance, but she didn't appear to be seriously injured, according to witnesses.
Chlorine from the truck spilled onto the highway and was quickly removed. By 10:50 a.m., the road was reopened.
No further information was available.
