1. Tractor-trailer overturns after striking LIRR overpass for the second time in just 20 days. A tractor trailer struck the Long Island Rail Road overpass and overturned onto Montauk Highway. It was just before midnight when the Center Moriches Fire Department was dispatched to the accident on Montauk Highway, just west of Wilcox Avenue at the Long Island Railroad overpass. First responders arrived to find a tractor on its side in the roadway. Firefighters secured the truck while EMS evaluated the driver who extricated himself prior to the fire departments arrival.

2. Downtown Riverhead's "Holiday Hop" pub crawl is set for Friday night. Starting at 6 p.m., "Crawlers" can check in at the Riverwalk Bar and Grille, where they will hop to several craft beverage locations — North Fork Brewing Company, Montauk Distilling, Tradewinds Brewing Company and Peconic County Brewing Company — with exclusive drink menus and deals, including $5 craft beer pours. The bar-hop is accompanied by a digital scavenger hunt. Checking into all locations earns participants a raffle entry to win one of 10 $50 e-Gift Cards to venues across downtown Riverhead.
