Two Airlifted to Stony Brook After Separate Falls

Two fall victims were flown to Stony Brook University Hospital out of Sag Harbor Village on Monday morning after they were injured in separate incidents. The two medevac helicopters landed at Havens Beach within a half-hour of each other. 

The Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps was called to the Sag Harbor Medical Walk-In on Bay Street at 10:07 a.m. when a woman arrived disoriented after a fall from a bicycle. Emergency medical personnel decided she should be airlifted to Stony Brook, the nearest trauma center. 

Just a few minutes later, at 10:15 a.m., the ambulance corps received a second call for a patient with injuries from a long fall. A man was reportedly on a 15-foot ladder when he fell at a house on Glover Street. A crew assembled with the help of the Bridgehampton Fire Department and an ambulance from East Hampton. 

The second helicopter, which flew east from MacArthur Airport in Islip, landed at Havens Beach at about 11:05 a.m., less than a half-hour after the first one had departed for Stony Brook.

The first helicopter was stationed at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton.

No further information was immediately available about the patients' conditions.
