UPDATE: Motorcycle Accident on Portion Rd Not Fatal

Police respond to second motorcycle accident in three days on Portion Road in Lake Ronkonkoma.

Update: Suffolk Police are reporting that the accident between a motorcycle and a van on Portion Road in Lake Ronkonkoma was not a fatal one. More details have not yet been revealed regarding the cause, or the names of those involved. Police did not have an update on the condition of either the driver of the van or the motorcycle.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene of yet another motorcycle accident in Lake Ronkonkoma, this time on Portion Road and Hawkins Avenue.

Hawkins was closed in both directions and the eastbound lanes of Portion Road were closed to traffic as rescuers worked at the scene. Some reports claim the accident had serious injuries, but police would not confirm that information at this time.

Patch will have more on this story as it develops. On Monday evening, , a 2007 graduate of Sachem North High School was killed while riding his motorcycle at the intersection of Express Drive North and Pond Road.  That accident is still under investigation.

At around 6:30 pm I was driving away from the McDonald's nearby and was blocked by the accident scene. I did not access from Portion Road into Hawkins Road. Another unfortunate motor bike accident, how sad it is the possible, grave harm upon those involved!

I read this as I watch the kids in my 11738 hood fly up and down my street pulling wheelies on their motorcycle while chasing their friends who are illegally on a quad. Between that and the reckless driving on the LIE and other major roads by motorcycle riders, I'm at the point to say change the licensing to make it at minimium 25+ to legally ride one in NYS.

It was actually an older gentleman who hit a car on his bike then tried to run, so after being involved with the hit and run he ran a red light and was hit by a van. People seeing it were probably like oh poor biker, or oh the van must have ran the light but nope. He drove his harley like a idiot and look what happened. Smh.

I saw the whole thing. The man on the motorcycle went right threw the red light. He was coming from a bar on hawkins avenue. Hopefully the police crack down on all these people drinking and driving. Does anyone know if there were any arrests made?

Tell me what other district is as large as Sachem?????? No better yet tell me what district hasRead More almost 6,000 residents but less than half of them care enough to vote because they are to lazy to come out. Why because they don't think anything will happen? Or because of the i don't have a kid in the district so why should I pay attitude. Maybe you don't have a child in THIS district but you probably do in some other district or maybe a grandchild somewhere. I can't stand the fact that the CHILDREN .......mine or someone elses will suffer. For what?, being to cheap to pay an extra 500 per year. Yet you will see these same people in Starbucks or at the nail salon every 2 weeks or lets not go there and God forbid give up smoking cuz that's just so important. Before you think that I can afford to pay this 500 increase let me tell you my husband works 12 hour shifts 6 days a week and I work 40-50 hours per week as well. We have 2 grown children and 2 younger ones and we barely make ends meet. BUT I would rather take on a second or third job than see things my kids enjoy ripped from under them. ITS DISGUSTING !!!!!!! Anyone who did not take the time to come out and vote the first time or who did and voted no are disgraceful. Its about the KIDS NOT ABOUT OUR WALLETS!!!!!
