A motorcyclist was arrested Thursday afternoon after a collision near the Minor Theatre in Arcata, according to a witness account and booking records.

A reader told Redheaded Blackbelt the crash occurred a little before 3 p.m. near the theater when the motorcycle rider was allegedly speeding through the area and ran a stop sign before colliding with a black truck.

According to the witness, “He got up, threw off his jacket, and went running. APD and highway patrol chased him down.”

Booking records show Kenneth Edward Loghry was arrested at approximately 3 p.m. Thursday by CHP officers Reynolds and Quevedo.

Loghry was booked on the following charges:

Felony evading a peace officer with reckless driving
Driving on a suspended license
Resisting or obstructing an officer

We’ve reached out to the CHP for more information but haven’t received an answer as of this posting.

“chased him down” should automatically be an extra year of jail. Plenty of time to think about his actions.

I saw this happen. The motorcyclist flew up off the bike, landed, then jumped up and ran.
He was ripping really loudly and fast down the street before the crash. Word had it he was being pursued.
The truck he hit sustained serious damage on the driver side front door and fender and popped the left front tire.
Nice bike ruined. Life changing for the people he hit.
The bike plate was from Oregon.

I don’t know; do pickups have air bags?

Whoever downvoted, I was actually asking; I don’t own a pickup.

not my down vote; you made me curious…

Do Trucks Have Airbags? (All You Need To Know) https://autoily.com/do-trucks-have-airbags/

Conclusion

All trucks built past Sept. 1, 1998, will have front airbag systems in them. Some newer truck models may have side current airbags, but if they do, they were specially ordered.

If you have a truck that was built before 1998, you might still have an airbag system, because manufacturers started putting them in their trucks before the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act was passed.

You expect the young crazies on sport bikes to do this kinda stuff – not a local kid on a BMW plushie. Wonder who was chasing him?

Maybe no one; a few months ago, at the end of a Critical Mass bike ride in Arcata, there was some jerk in a blacked out bloated pickup that had been lifted, zooming around the plaza on a Friday night with a lot of pedestrians around.

Maybe, but testosterone poisoning can have a similar effect.

True. Guys need to get laid. It’s medicinal. Prostitution should be legal. For peace on Earth.
