A 19-year-old motorcyclist has reportedly led police on an interstate highway chase at speeds of up to 150 mph before they finally gave up the chase. However, police quickly tracked the bike's license number and found it belonged to Ryan Lewis of Eugene, Oregon.

Lewis was later found by police in his house and his bike was found hidden in the courtyard. The incident took place on Monday evening when Oregon State Police Capt. Calvin Curths said he was in an unmarked car in a construction zone on Interstate 5 when the motorcycle sped past him.

AP quotes him as saying that the motorcycle zoomed at the speed of 72 mph in a 50-mph zone and later accelerating to as much as 150 mph before police gave up the idea of chasing him. Lewis is now cited for reckless driving and eluding an officer.
