Kody Michae Luckenbaugh, 21, pushed his luck with police by fleeing an attempted traffic stop after speeding around a corner at York and Granite Station roads in Straban Township on Wednesday just before 7 a.m.

During the pursuit that followed, he traveled at speeds over 110 mph on his 2013 Yamaha motorcycle.

Due to safety concerns the pursuit halted but he was spotted again shortly after.
