A driver was injured when a 2026 Toyota Highlander left Route 25 and struck Greenport Harbor Brewing Company in Peconic on Monday, November 9, 2026, Southold Town police said.
The Southold Town Police Department and Southold Fire Department responded to the brewery at about 5:56 p.m. Authorities identified the driver as Jarod Tramontana, of Greenport.
Police said Tramontana was traveling west on Route 25. He reported swerving to avoid another vehicle that had crossed into his lane. Authorities described that vehicle as uninvolved in the collision; the reported lane crossing was part of Tramontana's account.
The Highlander went off the road and hit wires supporting a PSEG utility pole, according to police. It then crossed the brewery's parking lot, struck the building and entered through an overhead door. The SUV came to a stop inside the brewery.
Police reported significant damage to the building's interior and its contents. A witness said the brewery's stage area appeared to have been destroyed.
Southold Fire Department personnel transported Tramontana from the scene to a waiting Suffolk County Police Department helicopter. He was then airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of his injuries. Their severity was not reported.
The Southold Town fire marshal and town building inspector also responded to the scene. Police said the crash remained under investigation and that no charges had been filed at the time of the report.
