A 20-year-old man died early Saturday morning after crashing his motorcycle while fleeing from Virginia State Police.

Police say the incident began around 1:24 a.m. near the Laskin Road overpass when a Virginia State Trooper spotted a motorcycle traveling over 100 miles an hour.

We're told the trooper attempted to make a traffic stop, but the motorcyclist refused to pull over, leading to a high-speed pursuit with speeds exceeding 140 miles an hour.

Police say the motorcyclist took the Ballentine Boulevard exit, running several red lights, before re-entering I-264 West. The rider then exited onto Brambleton Avenue and ran another red light at Parks Avenue before veering off the road near Marshall Avenue, and crashing into a concrete wall before Cecelia Street near the railroad tracks.
