Biker Badly Injured in Overnight Crash While Evading Police

SAN ANGELO, TX – A biker was hospitalized Tuesday morning after he crashed into the back of a Mustang while attempting to flee from San Angelo Police Officers.

According to the SAPD,  on Jan. 12, just after 12:00 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 2700 block of West Avenue N for the report of a major motor vehicle crash involving a motorcycle and passenger car. 

Upon arrival, officers located a 28-year-old male biker suffering from incapacitating injuries.  The man was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.  The two occupants of the passenger car were treated for non-incapacitating injuries at a nearby hospital before being released. 

The preliminary crash investigation revealed the biker was traveling westbound on Avenue N at a high rate of speed before he rear-ended a 2006 Ford Mustang.  Investigators believe he is the same motorcyclist who fled from a patrol officer’s attempted traffic stop just minutes before the collision occurred. 

The biker was issued citations for Failure to Control Speed and No Class M Driver’s License.  Additional charges may be forthcoming pending the outcome of this ongoing investigation.
