How they died
Pursuit
At about 7:43 p.m., a deputy saw a 2018 Honda motorcycle traveling east at a high rate of speed. The deputy pursued the motorcycle east on W. Water Street and learned that the motorcycle had been previously reported stolen out of the City of Ithaca. The deputy attempted to stop the motorcycle. The motorcycle slowed to a near stop before turning around and traveling at high speeds west on W. Water Street, against the flow of one-way roadway traffic. The deputy did not pursue the motorcycle and radioed the Communications Center, advising them that the motorcycle had fled the stop. The motorcycle continued west on W. Water Street and struck a 2016 Ford Fusion. James Thigpen was killed.
