Flanders Road

A Flanders man died after being struck by a vehicle that left the scene last night on Flanders Road near Vail Avenue in Riverside, Southampton Town Police said in a press release this morning.

One person was killed and two others seriously injured in a head-on crash on Flanders Road in Flanders early Sunday morning.

All westbound lanes on State Route 24 (Riverhead-Hampton Bays Road) between Montauk Highway (Suffolk County Route 80) and Sunrise Highway (State Route 27)...

Police said Marcelo Viscalla Diaz, 20, of Flanders, was pronounced dead at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Flanders Road early this morning.

A head-on crash on Flanders Road last night sent two people to area hospitals with injuries police described as not life-threatening.

Michael Pepe of Bayport, who was texting just before the crash that killed Barbara Tocci, will complete community service by participating in anti-distracted-driving efforts through M.A.D.D., local government agencies, and at local schools.

A State Supreme Court judge has dismissed the felony criminally negligent homicide charge brought against the PSEG driver involved in the fatal head-on crash on Flanders Road in January 2014. Evidence of driver's text conversation five minutes before estimated time of crash is insufficient, judge rules.

Beginning Sunday, a single travel lane will be closed between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. every night over the next two weeks except for Fridays and Saturdays.

With less traffic, doing the work at night will be safer and more efficient and will minimize the impact on motorists and businesses, according to a state DOT spokesperson.

The Route 24/Flanders Road repaving project, which was set to resume Thursday, has been delayed until Tuesday, May 26.
