At Rest

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.
This record exists so that Andrew S. Baker, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
