Cape Cod Biker Crashes At 110 MPH Fleeing Police

YARMOUTH, MA — A Cape Cod motorcyclist who led a police officer on a chase in Yarmouth over and weekend crashed at 110 mph and now faces a host of charges. Robert Alves, 21, was hospitalized with minor injuries following the crash Saturday night.

Police said Alves was riding a red and white Kawasaki Ninja on Buck Island Road when Officer Sean Geary clocked him at 60 mph in a 45 mph zone.

Alves was charged with:

• Speeding
• Failure to stop/yield
