Speeding Motorcycles Almost Cause Crash in Barker

Two Brooklyn men are facing charges after New York State Police say the pair tried to outrun them on motorcycles.

Troopers say 27 year old Roy Cole and 28 year old Terryson Oneal were seen speeding on Interstate 81 in the Town of Barker at 4:10 p.m. July 12.

According to authorities, the men even looked back at them when police tried to stop them then sped off, cutting in and out of traffic lanes, onto the shoulder and almost causing a crash.  They were stopped by another trooper on Interstate 81 near the Cortland County line.

Both bikers are charged with unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle and reckless driving as well as being issued several traffic tickets.

Cole and Oneal were sent to the Broome County Jail on $1,000 bail.
