\"CarsonCAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A Cape Coral man accused of leaving the scene of a crash that seriously injured two people on a motorcycle entered a no-contest plea on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

According to a Cape Coral Police Department arrest report, officers responded to a crash in April 2025<\/a> involving a black Hyundai Tucson and a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle at Del Prado Boulevard and Northeast Second Street.<\/p>\n

Security camera footage showed the motorcycle headed north when the Hyundai turned into its path, causing a crash, CCPD said. Witnesses said that the driver of the Hyundai left the scene without checking on the two occupants of the motorcycle.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Hyundai was identified as Donis Centeno, and he was arrested. He was charged with two counts of failure to remain at the scene of a crash involving serious bodily injury and one count of driving with a suspended license and causing serious injury.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Centeno pleaded no contest to one charge of leaving the scene of the crash and the charge of driving with a suspended license. The state dropped the second charge of leaving the scene of the crash, court documents show.<\/p>\n

Centeno was sentenced to 72 months in prison for the charge of leaving the scene of the crash, and 60 months for the charge of driving with a suspended license. The sentences will be served concurrently, which means Centeno will spend 72 months in prison.<\/p>\n
