Pedestrian Hit Near Montauk 7-Eleven

East Hampton Town police are investigating a Friday morning motor vehicle accident in which a pedestrian crossing Montauk Highway in Montauk was critically injured.

According to Detective Sgt. Greg Schaefer, the victim, Mariana Guanga-Baculima, was flown by helicopter to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she is in critical but stable condition. Her family has been notified and is at the hospital, he said. While the detective did not have her exact age, he said she was born in 1982.

The accident occurred around 6:30 a.m. The area around the crosswalk between the 7-Eleven and the I.G.A. was cordoned off by police, with a detective photographing the scene. A GMC was parked in the eastbound lane, about 10 feet past the crosswalk. Detective Schaefer was still receiving information from the scene when he spoke Friday morning, so he could not confirm the make or model of the vehicle involved.

A clerk at the 7-Eleven said Ms. Guanga-Baculima was an assistant manager at the store. The accident occurred about a half-hour after sunrise.

The detective asked that anyone who has information about the accident call the police at 631-537-7575.
