An asphalt-biting chase on Interstate 20 ended in a dramatic crash Saturday evening as a motorcyclist, sought on multiple warrants, attempted to outpace the long arm of the law. According to the Georgia State Patrol, the daredevil escapade started when deputies attempted to pull over the outlaw rider for cruising without a tag near the Moreland Avenue exit.
The pursuit erupted into a full-blown chase around 7 p.m., with the biker's bid for freedom leading to his loss of control and a collision into the median, the authorities reported. As sirens blared, the rider's gambit for escape detoured, launching him from his two-wheeled steed and onto the unforgiving concrete, FOX 5 detailed.
Traffic knotted as the aftermath of the incident unfolded, bringing rush-hour commuters to a standstill. The response from law enforcement was swift and medical attention immediate; once the dust had settled, it emerged the rogue motorist had outstanding warrants hanging over his head from Clayton County.
The hobbled speedster was whisked away to Grady Memorial Hospital with serious injuries, confirmed by the state patrol. His identity and age remained undisclosed, while the lawmen's chase concluded without physical contact, ensuring that the long, twisted road to justice can be, sometimes as perilous for those enforcing the law as for those who flee it, according to a WSB-TV report.
