Personal Injury Law

Motorcycle rider to be charged

By Edward Bills

Colorado Springs Motorcycle officer C. Cherry was conducting traffic enforcement on the South Powers corridor and noticed a motorcycle speeding southbound. When the suspect motorcycle saw the officer, he increased speed and made evasive maneuvers as Officer Cherry attempted to catch up to him. As the officer got closer and initiated his emergency lights, the suspect motorcycle lost control on an off ramp and crashed into a curb. No other vehicles were involved. The suspect driver, a 44 y/o male, was conscious and alert at the scene but sustained injuries to his left leg/hip. He was transported by AMR ambulance to Memorial hospital. An inventory search of the suspect’s motorcycle and property found suspected methamphetamine and marijuana. The suspect will be charged with felony eluding, related traffic charges, and possession of illegal substances.
