Andrew S. Baker

Pursuit

Around 1:32 a.m., a trooper was monitoring traffic on I-664 near the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge Tunnel in Suffolk, when a 2006 Honda CBR600 motorcycle sped past the trooper going 89 mph in the posted 60 mph zone. The trooper initiated a traffic stop and 28-year-old Andrew S. Baker pulled onto the shoulder. As the trooper approached, the motorcyclist sped away. The trooper pursued until Baker exited I-664 at Terminal Avenue in Newport News, lost control, ran off the ramp, struck the wall and was ejected from the bike, killing him.
