The High-Speed Chase
According to reports, the motorcycle driver, later identified as Billy Dancy, failed to stop for the deputy’s emergency lights and siren. Instead, he accelerated at a high rate of speed, weaving through traffic and even passing motorists in the wrong lane. Authorities estimated that the motorcycle reached speeds of up to 120 mph in a 35 mph zone, posing a serious danger to other road users.
