A Nappanee man was airlifted from the scene of a motorcycle crash after Marshall County police say the driver led a sheriff’s deputy on a pursuit.
A Marshall County Sheriff’s deputy attempted a traffic stop late Wednesday night in the area of Michigan Road and 1st Road when the motorcycle driver reportedly refused to stop. Police say the driver, Jesse Elliott, turned east on Tyler Road when a high speed pursuit began. Elliott later crashed on Tyler Road west of Lilac Road.
Elliott had lacerations on his legs and complained of pain in his hips and legs, according to a news release. He was transported to Memorial Hospital in South Bend for treatment.
The incident remains under investigation. Formal criminal charges are pending.
