UPDATE: Cops, Courts Say Hit-and-Run Driver from East Hampton

An East Hampton man is responsible for a hit-and-run on Montauk Highway Tuesday night, according to Southampton Police and Justice Court.

Police originally suspected a Riverhead man, but confirmed Wednesday morning that George Strobin, 43, was arrested Tuesday night. Justice Court confirmed, saying that Strobin is due back in court on April 11.

Police said the man was driving an SUV eastbound when he struck a sedan that a woman was driving westbound. The front corners of the cars collided and Strobin kept driving, according to police. Bridgehampton ambulance volunteers took the woman to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The accident was reported at 7:25 p.m., when it was foggy in Sagaponack, and the suspect was found shortly thereafter near the gas station in Wainscott. A utility pole near the westbound lane was also struck during the accident and a LIPA crew responded.

The suspect was additionally charged with traffic infractions, including failure to maintain his lane and failure to keep right, according to police.

This story will be updated as more details become available.
