At around 1:50 p.m. a group of police motorcycles from multiple agencies in a training run were traveling in the southbound lanes at the interchange with Bryant Pond Road, according to  Public Information Officer Trooper Melissa McMorris. As the convoy made its way down the southbound lanes, another vehicle began to merge from Bryant Pond Road onto the Taconic. As the vehicle attempted to merge, several of the motorcycles were forced to take evasive action, and two of the cycles struck each other.  One of the operators, an officer from the West Haven Police Department was thrown from his bike and suffered serious injuries. He was transported by Medevac to Westchester Medical Center.
