WILMINGTON -- Police say the motorcyclist was already speeding when he blew past Brooks Pharmacy at Route 129 and Main Street, and when a police officer pulled out to stop him, the driver just went faster.
The officer could not even keep up to the driver on the Suzuki motorcycle, which was soon found in pieces, its driver critically injured, at the end of Nichols Street.
Police said Andrew Baldie, 22, of Melrose was found at the bottom of a chain-link fence and flown to Brigham and Hospital in Boston last night shortly before 9 p.m.
Baldie's condition was not immediately available.
Deputy Police Chief Robert Richter said the officer who was after the motorcyclist had fallen behind by about five seconds when the crash occurred, so the officer did not see the crash. He came upon it within seconds.
"When he saw the blue lights, he really laid into it," Richter said of the motorcyclist. "But he was flying before then."
The driver passed several cars as he sped down Route 129, Richter said.
The driver then turned down Nichols Street, and was apparently not familiar with the area, because little more than a very short stretch of black marks indicated any attempt to slow down where Nichols Street ends in a T intersection with Brown Street, according to Richter.
Witnesses at the scene told police they thought the bike was going 100 to 120 mph as it traveled down Nichols Street, which runs off Route 129, according to Richter.
The motorcycle and rider continued through the intersection, crashing through some bushes, grazing a stone marker and slamming into a chain-link fence, according to Richter.
"It was in 100 pieces," Richter said of the motorcycle.
Richter said police are still determining exactly what charges the driver will face. He will be summonsed, at least, for operating to endanger, failure to stop for police, and speeding, Richter said.
He was taken by ambulance to the field at the Shawsheen Elementary School, where he was loaded onto a MedFlight helicopter and taken to Boston.
