OXFORD – The Oxford Police Department was involved in a vehicle pursuit and collision earlier this week after a motorcyclist allegedly fled law enforcement and then caused an accident.

According to Village of Oxford Mayor Terry Stark, members of the Oxford Police Department were attempting to stop a motorcyclist for a traffic infraction on Wednesday when the vehicle feigned compliance before driving away.

Stark said police reported that they followed the motorcycle rider until the rider slammed on their brakes causing a collision.

He said no one was seriously injured in the incident, though the front metal grill of the patrol car did receive minor damage.
