GRAND SALINE, Texas (KETK) — A suspect is still at large after a high-speed motorcycle pursuit Thursday morning in Grand Saline. According to Grand Saline Police Department, around 1 a.m. officers were notified by the Mineola Police Department about a blue sports motorcycle heading west on U.S. Highway 80 towards Grand Saline at speeds of 122 mph. At around 1:10 a.m., officers located the bike entering city limits on U.S. Highway 80 near east city limits headed westbound at a speed of 120 mph. Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop but the bike accelerated and continued westbound at speeds over 140 mph. After a short pursuit, the motorcycle turned back north on Main Street from U.S. 80 where officers lost sight of him. The officer remained in the area and located the motorcycle eastbound on U.S. 80 and attempted to initiate a traffic stop again but the motorcycle made a turn and headed back west at high rates of speed. The motorcycle then turned north on Main Street and the officer lost sight of him again.
