Ida Grove Iowa Motorcycle Pursuit and Crash

Deputy Randy Petersen was injured after Kody Krager crashed his motorcycle head on into his squad car following a pursuit initiated by the Iowa State Patrol. Krager was allegedly driving recklessly through Ida Grove. In the initial video, Krager appears to be riding alongside another motorcycle.

The Deputy had positioned his squad in the middle of the road to force Krager to slow, but Krager impacted the squad head on at approximately 49 MPH, being thrown over the top of the car and into the middle of the highway behind the squad.

MORAL: Don't drive like an idiot, and comply with emergency vehicles and pull over. A young motorcyclist's life is cut short over what would have been a simply traffic citation.

@BillywBeast You are an idiot. The only person that can be held responsible for what happened is the driver of the motorcycle. If he would have simply pulled over he would still be alive.

shame on law enforcement. shameful behavior. this is use of deadly force against someone who was not threatening the officer's life.

Moral of the story needs to be expanded: If you're a cop, don't be stupid and pull out and stop in the middle of the road and cause an accident.

Crime: speeding, reckless driving and attempting to evade arrest.

Punishment: DEATH

Doesn't seem to add up

The kid was wrong with his traffic violation, but is it right to position your vehicle in the motorcycles path?

I don't think it is.

"Positioned his squad car in the middle of the road" - why do so many people think this is reasonable thing to do to against a vulnerable road user! Regrettably, for all concerned, we can see the result.

MORAL: If a vulnerable road user refuses to stop for a simple traffic citation, call off the pursuit, take down the number plate and call round the rider's house later to issue the ticket.
