A driver was airlifted to a hospital after a vehicle crashed into the Greenport Harbor Brewery in Peconic, causing significant damage to the building, according to Southold Town police.

At approximately 5:56 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, the Southold Town Police Department and Southold Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a vehicle that struck the Greenport Harbor Brewery, located at 42155 Route 25 in Peconic.

The investigation determined that a 2026 Toyota Highlander operated by Jarod Tramontana of Greenport was traveling westbound on Route 25 when he swerved to avoid an uninvolved vehicle that he reported had crossed into his lane of travel.

Police said Tramontana's vehicle then left the roadway and struck the support wires of a PSEG utility pole.

The vehicle continued through the parking lot of the Greenport Harbor Brewery before striking the building, entering through an overhead door and coming to a stop inside the structure.

The collision caused significant damage to the interior of the building and its contents, according to investigators.

Tramontana was transported from the scene by the Southold Fire Department to a waiting Suffolk County Police Department helicopter and was then airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

The Southold Town Fire Marshal and Southold Town Building Inspector also responded to the scene.

The investigation remains ongoing. No charges have been filed at this time.
