I personaly witnessed this crash, and the moments before as the man drove by me. closely folowed by a sandy city police officer also on a motorcycle. The police officer was no more than ten feet behind the man. I strongly believe that if the officer would have backed off and pursued from a safe distance this accident may have been avoided.
