Motorcycle thief escapes
By Teresa Veazey Kansan staff writer
Early Monday morning, Zach Collins, Leawood freshman and Naismith Hall resident, heard someone starting a motorcycle engine in the parking lot of Naismith. When he looked out his window, he saw a motorcycle being stolen — his motorcycle.
Collins immediately called the police. But police were already on the case.
A KU police officer parked near Robinson Center heard the driver racing the engine as he neared the intersection of Naismith and Sunnyside avenues. The officer repositioned his car in the lot to get the motorcycle on radar and clocked the driver's speed at 40 mph in a 30 mph zone, KU police said.
The driver turned right
onto Sunnyside Avenue and passed the officer's patrol car. The officer turned around and started to follow the driver, who had begun to go even faster.
After running a stop sign at the intersection at Sunyside Avenue and Sunflower Road, the driver hit a bump in the road, bottomed out and eventually lost control of the motorcycle between Indiana and Louisiana streets, KU police said.
Davis Hock, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore, said he and a friend were standing at the top of Louisiana Street when he heard the motorcycle's loud engine and saw the accident.
near him and his friend.
"He went over a bump and bottomed out," Hock said. "I saw sparkes everywhere."
Hock said he saw police cars chasing the motorcycle before the driver crashed
"He fell over about 20 feet in front of us and took off running," Hock said. "He went over the hill by the chancellor's house."
Although the driver was not apprehended, he left evidence behind at the scene. KU police picked up the suspect's white baseball hat.
Hock said that he thought the motorcycle was stolen because the driver ran away right after the crash. Because it was dark outside, Hock said he didn't get a good look at the driver but thought the driver might have been limping after the accident.
Because he saw police pursuing the motorcycle, he didn't try to go after the driver, he said.
"I didn't feel like playing hero," he said. "I figured the cops would take care of it."
