Motorcycle VS Cops Dashcam Captures Intense Police Chase

A Lynchburg man faces up to 6 years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to charges connected to a late-night, high-speed chase through city streets ending in a motorcycle wreck. Lewis Edward Fields, 44, pleaded guilty to charges of felony eluding and misdemeanor driving on a suspended license in Lynchburg Circuit Court. Prosecutors said Fields was arrested Jan. 3 after eluding police and leading them on a nearly 10-minute chase turning on various Lynchburg streets, sometimes reaching 100 miles per hour and going the wrong way against oncoming traffic. The incident began at about 12:10 a.m., when Trooper T. W. Fridley, of the Virginia State Police, observed Fields driving a motorcycle eastbound on Fort Avenue toward the Wards Road intersection, Chuck Felmlee, chief deputy commonwealth’s attorney for Lynchburg, said in an email.
