Man in Serious Condition After Police Chase, Motorcycle Crash

0:00A man is in serious condition following a police encounter in Vaughn that led to a motorcycle crash. York Regional Police got called for a welfare check just after 10pm on Purcell Crescent near Drummond Drive. When officers arrived, they spotted the motorcyclist who took off running from the scene. Moments later, the rider wiped out in a single vehicle accident and got rushed to a trauma center. This triggered the Special Investigations Unit to step in since it involved serious injury during police contact. The crash has folks in the neighborhood on edge, with Purcell Crescent shut down completely to let investigators do their work. No word yet on what sparked a welfare call or why the guy bolted. Police are staying tight-lipped under S.I.U. rules, so details are scarce right now. The investigation could drag on for a while. We'll watch for updates as this unfolds and more comes to life.
