A motorcycle rider who led police on a high-speed pursuit this month in Elk Grove before crashing into a residence died at a hospital, authorities said.
Police attempted to stop the motorcycle for speeding near Elk Grove and Franklin boulevards around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 8 when the rider refused to stop, the Elk Grove Police Department said in a Thursday evening news release.
