An Arizona motorcyclist is facing multiple felony charges after DPS says he tried fleeing a traffic stop at speeds topping 128 MPH on Interstate 10 near Willcox. 🌵
According to Arizona DPS, a state trooper originally attempted to stop the rider for allegedly going over 100 MPH on I-10 on May 8.
Investigators say the rider then took off, leading troopers on a 12-mile pursuit through Cochise County while reaching speeds above 125 MPH.
Authorities say the chase ended after the motorcyclist exited the freeway, lost control of the bike off-road, and crashed into the desert.
DPS says the rider was treated at a hospital for possible spinal injuries and later booked into Cochise County Jail on multiple felony charges, including unlawful flight.
Troopers say this is exactly why high-speed pursuits can turn dangerous in seconds.
