A two-vehicle crash in Sag Harbor early Saturday evening resulted in the death of one of those involved. Ross Pryce, 51, of Sag Harbor, died while being airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital.

According to Sag Harbor Village police, Mr. Pryce, who was heading north on a Suzuki motorcycle, apparently crossed over the double yellow line on Hampton Street near the intersection of Lighthouse Lane, crashing head-on into a southbound 2013 Mercedes-Benz being driven by Barbara Reuter, 69, of New York.

When police arrived, Mr. Pryce was lying in the roadway, breathing, but unconscious. Members of the Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps attempted to stabilize Mr. Pryce, police said, and took him to Havens Beach, where the helicopter met him.

A passenger in the car, William Williams, whose age and hometown were not released, was taken to Southampton Hospital. Ms. Reuter was not hospitalized, according to the police, who did not issue any citations.

Police are still investigating the accident. Both the motorcycle and the car were impounded.
