A motorcycle rider is in hospital with serious injuries and two suspects in a hit-and-run are on the lam following a crash in north Edmonton Monday night.
The motorcycle was travelling north on 97th Street last night around 10 p.m. when a pickup truck turned left in front of it at 161st Avenue, police said.
The motorcycle and truck collided, badly injuring the rider.
The truck raced off, but witnesses gave chase in their vehicles.
They eventually cornered the truck in a cul-de-sac a few blocks away, but the pickup jumped the curb and drove over lawns to make its escape.
The pursuit continued for a few more blocks when two men hopped out of the truck and ran off on foot.
A woman in the truck jumped behind the wheel and took off, but she too eventually ditched the truck.
The police helicopter and K9 units failed to locate the suspects, but officers going through the truck discovered the woman's wallet.
Police arrested her, but continue to search for the two men.
The motorcyclist's injuries are not believed to be life- threatening, police said.
