New details have been released on what Virginia State Police are calling a high-speed chase Sunday that ended with a serious accident involving a motorcycle and a trooper in Page County.

Police say a trooper chased the speeding motorcycle at high speeds around a curve, heading eastbound on Route 211 near Brookside. The motorcycle driver then lost control, throwing him from the bike.

Police say Trooper T.A. Fox was in pursuit and collided with the motorcycle, then hit the guardrail.

The accident didn't stop the motorcycle driver. Police say 25-year-old Christopher Thomas Timberlake of Ruckersville ran away and was eventually captured behind a nearby residence.

Sgt. Les Tyler says State Police are specially trained in advanced braking and steering techniques for high-speed scenarios like this one.

He says, "Troopers go through extensive training on how to operate their vehicles at high rates of speed and in this particular case, the trooper was unable to see that there was an obstacle in the roadway until he came around the curve. And then we're dealing with high rates of speed, so that's why he was unable to avoid it."

Tyler says troopers witnessed the motorcycle speeding earlier in the day.

"The trooper did witness this vehicle earlier in the day, just before 2 p.m. and attempted to stop it, but the vehicle took off from the trooper at that point," says Tyler. "The trooper then located it again near the town of Luray."

Timberlake was sent to the University of Virginia Medical Center. As of Monday afternoon, hospital officials say he is in good condition. Trooper Fox was treated and released from Page Memorial Hospital.

Tyler says charges have not been filed at this time.
