COUNCIL BLUFFS – Iowa State Patrol troopers pursued a teen motorcyclist who refused to stop Monday evening before he was seriously injured after rolling his bike in an interstate median.
According to a report, on Monday evening at about 5:45 PM, 19-year-old Joshua Holmes of Omaha, Nebraska, was southbound on Interstate 29 in Pottawattamie County as troopers with the Iowa State Patrol pursued him. Holmes approved two semis who were side-by-side on the two-lane interstate, and Holmes attempted to pass on the inside shoulder but lost control of his motorcycle, sending him flying into the median as the bike flipped several times.
Holmes was seriously injured and subsequently transported to an Omaha hospital.
