Calendar icon December 30, 2020 | Reading Time: 2 min

Three Long Island residents were involved and injured in a direct collision when one of the drivers crossed over into the other vehicle’s lane. According to Lt. Susan Ralph from the Southampton Police, the Long Island direct car crash happened around 2:27 p.m., on Monday, December 14, on Flanders Road in Southampton.

When the responding patrol units arrived on the scene, they found two vehicles in a head-on crash. They gave aid to seventy-seven-year-old Edward Sorensen, and fifty-seven-year-old Gearlyn O’Brien, both from Southampton. The third included person was twenty-five-year-old Jamel Mercer from Riverhead, the police said.

According to Ralph, Sorensen was operating a 2016 Subaru westbound with O’Brien, when he crashed with Mercer, who was operating a 2008 Chevrolet Impala, going eastbound. Mercer crossed over into Sorensen’s lane striking the Subaru, Ralph informed.

Sorensen and O’Brien were taken to Southampton Hospital. Mercer was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center. 

Southampton Police got assistance from the Southampton ambulance and fire departments and Hampton Bays Ambulance and New York State Police.

Southampton Town detectives are still investigating the Long Island direct car crash.

Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, you could easily end up in an accident because of another driver.

Besides distraction, speeding and alcohol, cutting lanes, or driving in the wrong direction can lead to severe and fatal accidents.

If something like this happens to you, the first thing you need to do is seek medical help. Even if your injuries are minor, you should let the doctor check you. Some injuries develop a few days after the crash and without a medical record, the insurance company wouldn’t believe that you sustained them in the crash. They’d seek even the smallest mistake in your claim so they could reduce the offer or deny it entirely.

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

    • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.
