Four Injured in Three-Car Crash in Water Mill

Four people were treated for minor injuries at Southampton Hospital Tuesday morning after a head-on collision on Montauk Highway in Water Mill.

Sgt. Frederick Boese of the Southampton Town police said a vehicle traveling west crossed into the eastbound lane, striking another vehicle near the intersection of Cobb Road at about 6 a.m. A third vehicle was also involved.

Southampton Volunteer Ambulance transported two patients and asked for assistance from the Bridgehampton Fire Department and Southampton Village Volunteer Ambulance, which transported the other two patients to Southampton Hospital.

Alfred Callahan, the second assistant chief with the Southampton Fire Department, said that "due to the extensive damage to two of the vehicles" and gas leaking from one of them, the eastbound lane was closed for about an hour while the scene was cleaned up.

Police did not release any further information.
