🌱 North Fork Daily: Man Charged With 2 DWIs In 1 Night: PD + Crash

Good morning, neighbors and friends. In the news today, two crashes in one involving a man who police said was driving while intoxicated. Also on our roads, a man was airlifted with serious injuries after hitting a pole, authorities reported.

With summer crowds on our bucolic roadways, what do you all think can be done to prevent crashes and keep us all safe? Many have said there's a need for answers for years, what would you like to see change?

Also, a hearing yesterday on limiting house size draw an impassioned crowd to Southold Town Hall. Look for that story on North Fork Patch today — and also, send your thoughts on the issue to Lisa.Finn@patch.com.

Until tomorrow . . .
