On May 25, 2026, at approximately 11:55 a.m., Eagle Police deputies responded to reports of a juvenile riding an electric motorcycle on the wrong side of the road and driving dangerously in the area of E. Hill Rd. and Highway 55 in Eagle.
When the deputy located the suspected electric motorcycle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop, the rider fled, accelerating away from the deputy. The deputy deactivated his emergency lights and siren and continued following from a distance while waiting for additional units to arrive.
As the deputy slowed his vehicle and approached Stephen C. Guerber Park near E. Celia Dr. and E. Hill Rd., the rider suddenly slowed and turned the electric motorcycle in front of the deputy’s vehicle, resulting in a collision. The deputy attempted to detain the rider, but the rider physically resisted before fleeing on the electric motorcycle.
The 16-year-old rider was quickly located by deputies outside a residence in Eagle. Due to the collision, the rider was taken by ambulance to a local hospital to be evaluated for non-life-threatening injuries. The rider was cited for multiple traffic violations and released to their parents. Eagle Police is routing the case to the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office for additional charges.
The Meridian Police Department is leading the investigation into the collision.
