(Cedar Rapids, IA) — A motorcyclist in Eastern Iowa is facing charges after allegedly reaching speeds of 177 miles per hour while fleeing from police.
Cedar Rapids Police say they attempted to pull over a motorcycle and a pickup truck on Highway 100 Wednesday night after observing them video recording dangerous motorcycle stunts on the highway. The pickup stopped, but the motorcycle fled.
An Iowa State Patrol airplane maintained visual contact with the motorcyclist and guided officers to the location where 19-year-old Kyle Ward was attempting to hide.
