A man was hospitalized Friday, July 10, after crashing his motorcycle into a moving vehicle on westbound Highway 91 in Riverside while being chased by an officer, officials said.
A Riverside Police officer observed the man speeding on Highway 91 near the La Sierra Avenue off ramp about 8:30 p.m., Sgt. Kendell Banks said. The officer attempted to pull him over, but the motorcycle rider refused to stop.
That’s when he rammed into a car, Banks said.
The motorcycle rider was taken to a local hospital where he remained at 10:20 p.m. Friday. The condition of the rider was unclear Friday night, but Banks said the man was undergoing surgery.
When the man is cleared from the hospital, Banks said, he will be placed under arrest.
