Police pursuit in SE Nebraska reaches 118 mph

Nebraska State PatrolLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A motorcyclist has been captured after a chase that hit 118 mph in southeast Nebraska.

The Nebraska State Patrol said Tuesday in a news release that a trooper clocked the motorcyclist at 115 mph in a 55 mph zone Monday evening on the west side of Nebraska City.

The trooper tried to pull over the motorcyclist, who sped west on Nebraska Highway 2.

The patrol says the motorcyclist eventually turned south onto a gravel road in Lancaster County and struck two patrol cruisers. Then the motorcycle ran out of gas, and its driver was captured after a foot pursuit.

The patrol says 21-year-old Andrew Naderhoff was jailed on suspicion of felony flight and other crimes. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment on Naderhoff’s behalf.
