Kyle Wade Plunkett

How they died

Pursuit

A deputy was responding to a report of a person in a ditch when he heard a motorcycle revving repeatedly. The deputy then saw a motorcyclist riding with the front wheel elevated off the road. After the motorcycle went back on both wheels, the deputy clocked a speed of 85 mph on his radar. The deputy attempted to pull the motorcyclist over and then pursued. The motorcycle crested a hill, leaving the motorcycle out of sight of the deputy. When the deputy approached a nearby roundabout, he was able to see the motorcyclist had crashed. The motorcyclist was killed in the crash.
