Motorcycle Crash Ends High-Speed Chase in North Park

A motorcyclist traveling Interstate 805 in excess of 120 miles per hour slammed into the back of a car during a police pursuit that crossed San Diego County Tuesday.

A man riding a Suzuki motorcycle led California Highway Patrol officers on a chase from Oceanside to North Park in just 15 minutes, officers told NBC 7.

A driver on her way home became part of the pursuit when the rider slammed into the back of her vehicle, spinning her car around and up onto an embankment.

"I don't know everything happened so fast," said Erma Ramirez. "You're not expecting to be rear-ended by a motorcycle pursuit at 130 miles per hour."

Despite the motorcycle sustaining serious damage, the rider was able to walk to the median of the highway where he waited for CHP officers.

They put him into handcuffs and took him into custody.
