A motorcyclist was injured in an accident on Butter Lane in Bridgehampton on Monday afternoon.

Bridgehampton Fire Chief Jeff White said the motorcyclist hit the windshield of a small utility van after it made a right turn in front of him around noon near 60 Butter Lane, about 1,000 feet from Montauk Highway.

The motorcyclist was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital, a level one trauma center, for his injuries. The driver of the van was not injured, the chief said.

Southampton Town police had a portion of Butter Lane closed Monday afternoon as the accident was investigated. Police did not immediately return a call for more information.
