UPDATED @ 11:17 AM

A Alabama State Trooper clocked a motorcycle traveling in excess of 100 MPH. When the Trooper activated his blue lights, the motorcycle rider made a decision - let me be clear, the motorcycle driver not the Alabama State Trooper, made a decision to fail to yield to the blue lights and run.

The motorcycle rider proceeded north on County Road 9 into Dale County. The motorcycle rider lost control and traveled a long distance from where he lost control  crashed. The motorcycle was on the east side of the road and the driver on the left side. The motorcycle traveled an extended distance from where the driver landed.

Alabama State Troopers and Dale County Sheriff  Depitied were on the scene.

Pinckard Volunteer Fire and Wicksburg Rescue were on the scene.

The injuries did not appear to be life threatening.

The person UNDER the blue lights do not make the decision to run.  It is the person in front of the blue lights that makes that decision.  As I always tell people that I deal with,  you can fight the offense in court but can  it fight the ride that begins prior to court.
