Detectives from the Suffolk County Police Sixth Squad are looking into a motor vehicle accident that left a motorcyclist critically injured in Miller Place on April 22.

The motorcyclist, Christopher Celli, was riding a 2003 Harley Davidson westbound on Route 25A when two vehicles ahead reduced their speed for a yellow traffic light at Harrison Avenue. Celli maneuvered his motorcycle between the two cars and proceeded through the intersection, colliding with the passenger side of an eastbound 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was turning left onto Harrison Avenue around 9:15 p.m.

Celli, 24, from Coram, was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The Jeep driver, Frederick Winter, 78, from Sound Beach, escaped unharmed. Both vehicles have been impounded for safety evaluations.
