A local man was taken to the hospital on the evening of Dec. 19 after a collision with a car near the intersection of Springs-Fireplace Road and Abraham’s Path.

Richard Hamilton of Amagansett, 72, was northbound on Abraham’s Path in a 2019 Dodge pickup truck when, as he was about to stop, he collided with a bicycle ridden by Telmo Pinos, 32, who was riding north on Springs-Fireplace Road. Mr. Hamilton told police that Mr. Pinos did not have any lights or reflectors on the bicycle.

Mr. Pinos said he felt pain in his right upper arm and right hip. He was taken by ambulance to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for treatment.

Another accident involving a bicycle and a car occurred on Montauk Highway near Sayre’s Path in Wainscott that same evening, in which the driver of the car left the scene of the crash.

Paul Bagliani of Wainscott, 57, was riding in the bike lane when a vehicle pulled out of a driveway, striking his bike on the left side and causing him to fall off. The driver stopped and got out of the car, he told East Hampton Town police, before getting back in and driving away.

Mr. Bagliani declined medical attention, despite a wound to his left leg.
