A high-speed chase involving a stolen motorcycle that began in Johnston County culminated in a crash on Wade Avenue in Raleigh, leading to lane closures this Saturday night. According to a report from CBS17, North Carolina State Highway Patrol initially attempted to pull over three motorcyclists on Interstate 95. Highlighted by the patrol for being stolen and carrying "displaying fictitious registration," one of the motorcyclists also had two unregistered concealed firearms.
Reportedly, the chase escalated to speeds of up to 115 miles per hour as the suspect led authorities from I-95 to Interstate 40, into Wake County, before the pursuit ended after the motorcyclist exited at Wade Avenue in Raleigh. Information provided by ABC11 confirmed that the driver of the car involved in the Raleigh crash is ok. Having ended in Wake County, the details of the crash and the subsequent arrest unfolded.
The suspect, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was transported to a hospital following the incident, and his condition remains undisclosed. He is facing multiple charges as a result of the chase, which spanned multiple counties before reaching its conclusion in Wake County.
While the drama of the chase has certainly rattled the area, the repercussions for the suspect are just beginning. He came to a halt on Wade Avenue while the implications of his choices continue to move forward at breakneck speed. The charges that await him are piling up, just as traffic did when lanes of Wade Avenue were shut down during the incident.
