LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. — State Police are seeking two persons of interest in a police chase incident that left an officer injured Saturday morning.
According to a press release, a pursuit ensued after officers from Pennsylvania State Police Jonestown recorded 3 motorcycles traveling Eastbound on Route 22 in Swatara Township at 121 mph in a 55 mph zone.
After an unsuccessful attempt to pull over the motorcycles, two of them doubled back Westbound on Route 22, while the third went south on Route 343. Shortly after traveling down Route 343, the Troopers ended their pursuit.
At the original site where the officers first saw the motorcycles, one of the motorcycles, carrying a passenger, passed officers again.
This time, a Trooper was able to get the motorcycle to stop, but when the Trooper attempted to get the driver off the bike, the driver accelerated.
The Trooper was dragged for a short distance and received minor injuries as a result.
The motorcycle once again went Westbound on Route 22 and exited toward Route 934 where the pursuit ended.
The suspects are believed to be a male with a female passenger.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police in Jonestown at 717-865-2194.
