A 19-year old man from Nebraska was injured after the motorcycle he was driving crashed Monday, as he was being pursued by the Iowa State Patrol, in Pottawattamie County. Officials say Joshua Holmes, of Omaha, was transported by Crescent Rescue to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

Officials say Holmes’ 2005 Honda zipped past two semi’s on the inside shoulder of southbound Interstate 29 during the pursuit. At mile post 67, the cycle entered the median, went out of control and rolled several times times before coming to rest in the median.

The crash happened at around 5:47-p.m.
