Motorcylist seriously injured, under arrest after chase through Twin Cities

A motorcyclist is seriously injured and under arrest after leading authorities on a chase through the Twin Cities that ended in a T-bone crash Tuesday morning, officials said.

Just before 6 a.m., a state trooper tried to pull over the motorcyclist for speeding on Interstate 494 in Bloomington, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.

The motorcyclist fled all the way to St. Paul, where he crashed near Cayuga and L'Orient streets, the patrol said. The other driver involved in the crash fled the scene.

The motorcyclist, a 32-year-old man from Little Canada, suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized. The patrol said he is under arrest on suspicion of fleeing police and a firearms violation.

Minnesota Department of Transportation cameras captured the high-speed chase. At one point, eight troopers were pursuing the motorcyclist.
