otorcycle Madness
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
As a police dispatcher I've had many times when a suspect rammed one of our Patrol Cars with his car in a (usually fruitless) attempt to escape.
But this suspect wins (or at least should) the prize, What prize is that, Why "Honorable Mention" of course (Since he survived, sort of)
This all starts on Easter Sunday, 3/31/2002
A local motorcycle owner goes out to his garage and notices something missing.. His bike.
Now a few days later (Wednesday 4/3/2002) one of
ichigan's Finest (State Police Trooper) notices a motorcycle being operated in a very reckless fashion... Yup, same bike, but at the time we did not know that (I should not say we, ti was my day off, but I did get to see the video tape)
He attempts to stop the biker and the chase is on
Pulling up to a red light the biker first stops,
then turns, jumps the curb, cuts actoss some grass and back into the street. Ramming a local police car (but staying on his bike) RAM A CAR WITH A MOTORCYCLE, WHAT WAS HE THINKING?
He continues, "Cross Country" and gets back on yet another street, this time at much higher speed he again rams a Police Car (This time a State car, not that that matters) and the laws of physics... Well they are self enforcing, you break them and you are very likely to break a few other thigns too, and the laws of phsysics say in a battle between a motorcycle and a full size police car there can be but one winner.
After doing some amazing flipps, worthy of the best stunt types in Hollywood. his next stop was
TRACTION. As of this typing he's still there (With a trooper for company)
Let's see... Reckless, Felionus Assult, Possession of a stolen Motor Vehicle, Felony Flee & elude (Attempt) More traffic violations than I could count.
And the FOX-2 (WJBK) News 'copter filming the entire thing
(I got to see the raw footage)
I suspect will be hearing from him agin,,, in
5 to 20 years
---- Cut here please ----
