An East Hampton man told village police he was looking down at his phone last Friday afternoon when his 2016 Chevrolet pickup truck ran into a 2018 Tesla at the intersection of Pantigo and Accabonac Roads.
The Tesla driver, Russell Diamond of Sag Harbor, was stopped in westbound traffic when Ivan Mesa of East Hampton rear-ended his vehicle.
A passenger in the Tesla reported whiplash — hip, neck, and back pain — but declined medical treatment. Hammer Towing pulled the Tesla to its Wainscott lot.
Sag Harbor Village police have received several reports of “swatting” calls, falsely reporting an emergency, from Main Street businesses recently, three involving Sag Pizza and another, last week, involving Apple Bank.
East Hampton Village’s new Flock license-plate reader cameras are having an immediate effect here. Out of 18 arrests reported by village police in the last two weeks, 14 were made with the assistance of the cameras.
A coyote was spotted in the vicinity of Hither Hills State Park in Montauk on the morning of April 7. The man who reported it said he was worried about the safety of neighborhood pets.
