3 Motorcycle Riders Lead Police on Chase in Lemon Grove

One of three motorcycle riders who ran a red light in Lemon Grove and led a patrol sergeant on a pursuit today crashed into a center divider as his fellow riders sped away.

The group of three ran a red right at Lemon Grove Avenue and Palm Street at about 1:40 a.m., according to sheriff's Lt. Eddie Brock.

As the pack turned onto eastbound Broadway, it sped up to about 90 mph, Brock said.
