Three-Car Crash on East Hampton's Main Street Wednesday

A driver from New Jersey who was making a left turn from Buell Lane onto Main Street in East Hampton Village was ticketed by police after allegedly causing a three-car accident Wednesday afternoon.

According to Officer Chris Jack of the village police, the driver of a 2006 BMW X5, whose name was not released, failed to yield to oncoming traffic and struck a 2016 Jeep Cherokee that was traveling east on Main Street. That vehicle was then pushed into the westbound lane, striking a 2008 Jeep Wrangler.

The driver of the Jeep Wrangler, a woman whose name was also not released, complained of whiplash and was taken by ambulance to Southampton Hospital. Officer Jack said no other injuries were reported.

The accident occurred at approximately 12:40 p.m. All three vehicles were towed from the scene a short time later.
