CHP Impounds Ducati Motorcycle Used in High Speed Pursuit

Officers with the California Highway Patrol located a motorcycle in Pacifica Sunday, which was apparently used in a high-speed highway chase the day before in Oakland.

The pursuit began at about 11 a.m. on Saturday when an officer saw a Ducati 998 motorcycle driving at about 100 mph, heading eastbound on Interstate Highway 80 near the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza, CHP officials said.

The officers tried to stop the motorcycle, but the rider refused to stop, initiating the pursuit.
