A local man is in serious condition after he allegedly ran a red light and crashed his motorcycle into a car.

On Sunday around 5:20 p.m., 44-year-old Dwayne L. Cantelmo of Stormville was riding a 1995 Harley-Davidson motorcycle in Carmel when he collided with a 2006 Acura at the intersection of Route 6 and Route 52.

Cantelmo was tossed from his bike. He was taken to Danbury Hospital with serious injuries to his head and right leg.

The driver of the car, 33-year-old Michael A. Nieves of Katonah, wasn’t injured.

An investigation determined that Cantelmo ran a red light at the intersection, causing the crash, police say.

The intersection was closed to traffic for about five hours as deputies and investigators reconstructed the crash and cleared the scene. No tickets were issued at the scene and the crash remains under investigation.
