Connecticut State Police said the incident occurred in New London County at about 7:40 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, in Colchester.

Tolland County resident David Justin Carnein, age 34, of the town of Tolland, was riding a 2001 Triumph motorcycle recklessly on Lebanon Avenue. Police had previously attempted to stop Carnein, but he fled at a high speed, said state police.

As Carnein approached a Y-shaped intersection with Windham Avenue, he lost control of the motorcycle, police said.

The vehicle continued straight into the parking lot of Colchester Florist, where the crash occurred.

Carnein sustained serious injuries and was treated at the scene by police and emergency responders. He was transported by Lifestar to Hartford Hospital for further treatment.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
