The crash happened in Putnam County on Sunday, Jan. 12 around 12:30 p.m., when a motorcycle crashed on Croton Falls Rd. (Route 34) in Mahopac after failing to negotiate a turn, losing control, and hitting a guardrail, Carmel Police Lt. Michael Bodo said on Monday, Jan. 13.

The rider, a 50-year-old Mahopac resident, suffered traumatic injuries to his lower body and pelvic area, Bodo said.

After the crash, he was taken to the Mahopac Fire Department firehouse on Route 6 and then airlifted to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla. 

The crash is still under investigation, Bodo said, adding that preliminary findings have determined that "unsafe speed" may have been a factor.
