Driver Seriously Injured in East Hampton Crash

East Hampton Town police are investigating an accident early Sunday morning on Route 114 that ended with the driver suffering serious injuries.

The driver, Edwin P. Inga Uyaguari, 23, of East Hampton, was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital to be treated in that facility's trauma unit. The 2002 Honda Odyssey he was driving was impounded and taken to the police garage on Pantigo Road in East Hampton for a safety inspection.

According to the police, the Honda was headed south when it veered across the oncoming lane of traffic, left the road, and crashed into a tree near Barcelona Neck Road. A passing motorist alerted police to the crash. There were no passengers in the van, police said, and preliminary reports indicate that alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the accident. The vehicle was totaled, its front end crushed inwards.

Police are asking for the public's help with their investigation. Anyone with information has been asked to call 631-537-7575.
