editor's note- " driver" is referring to the motorcyclist, not the police officer.

published edit at 3:06 AM 5/4/2022- headline clarity "crash" changed to "motorcycle wreck"

Editors note 5/6/2022- 8:49 PM- we are waiting on confirmation of which madison county department was in pursuit as it was bought to our attention that it was Lapel police, however neither have confirmed which department was actually the department that was involved in the chase.
