A state trooper helped arrest a speeding motorcyclist in Norfolk on Wednesday night despite being struck by another police car during the pursuit.

Trooper Lee C. White III had cornered motorcyclist Brian V. Price in a cul de sac, and during the ensuing foot pursuit White was struck and knocked to the ground by a car driven by another state trooper. He got up and continued the pursuit, helping to apprehend Price, who now faces charges of reckless driving, resisting arrest, felony eluding police, and riding a motorcycle with no license and no inspection.

Sgt. Lawrence Brown, a spokesman for state police, said the pursuit began when White spotted three motorcyles driving in excess of 90 mph on Interstate 64 westbound near Indian River Road in Virginia Beach. When two of the motorcyclists exited the highway at Northampton, White continued to pursue Price, who remained on the highway.

Brown said Price exited the highway at Norview Avenue in Norfolk and ended up turning onto LeePage Street, a cul de sac that presented the motorcyclist with a dead end. White got out of his vehicle and pulled Price to the ground, but Price broke free and ran. While White was chasing him, trooper James Peters arrived to provide asssistance, and he struck White.

Good that he got caught.I dislike bikers.

 

we towed a gsxr 750 last night where a guy ran from the cops in newport news and got caught in hampton. it was a dui arrest and im sure an eluding felony.

 

just one more reason for cops to give riders a hard time

 

They deserve it,theres not a day that goes by that i don't see/hear a biker wind his gears out on busy public roads. Plus they like to run from cops and do stupid shit on the interstate,so the more locked up the better.

 

That guy was a pure squid fag that makes everybody look bad but your comment made you look more ignorant then him..esp. posting it on a bike part of a forum?..
