Niagara Falls Motorcycle Chase Ends in Crash and Arrest in Lewiston

A 51-year-old Buffalo man is facing multiple charges after leading law enforcement on a high-speed motorcycle pursuit that spanned several jurisdictions Monday night.

The chase began when a Niagara Falls police officer attempted to stop the motorcycle on College Avenue within the city limits. The rider refused to pull over, prompting a pursuit that continued southbound on Hyde Park Boulevard, then eastbound along Buffalo Avenue and Cayuga Drive. The suspect then headed north on Military Road, traveling through the Town of Niagara and into Lewiston.

The pursuit came to an abrupt end near the Niagara Falls Country Club where the motorcyclist lost control on a curve along Military Road and crashed.

First responders from Upper Mountain Fire Company arrived at the scene and transported the man to a local hospital. Authorities confirmed his injuries were non-life-threatening.

In addition to traffic violations, the rider is being charged with fleeing law enforcement and operating a motorcycle without a valid license. Police also discovered that the man had an outstanding warrant issued by New York State Police.

Further details regarding the charges are expected as the investigation continues.
