\"State<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are requesting the public\u2019s help in identifying the operator of a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) which fled from officers during a traffic stop attempt on June 13 in Erie County.<\/p>\n

According to an official report from the Erie Patrol Unit, troopers attempted to stop a UTV around 5:15 p.m. on June 13 after observing multiple traffic violations on Hill Road in Venango Township. Police stated the driver failed to pull over when emergency lights and sirens were activated, leading officers to initiate a brief pursuit.<\/p>\n

Authorities reported that the UTV continued a short distance before leaving the roadway. The vehicle was last seen traveling through a nearby field and into a wooded area off Hopson Hill Road, where it ultimately evaded police. Troopers were unable to safely continue the pursuit due to the terrain and lost sight of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The vehicle is believed to be a newer model, possibly a 2024 to 2026 Honda Talon, with \u201cHONDA\u201d printed in white lettering on the driver\u2019s side door, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Police described the driver as a white male wearing a black baseball cap. No further description was provided.<\/p>\n

State Police are continuing to investigate the incident and are urging anyone who may have witnessed the pursuit or has information about the driver\u2019s identity to contact Trooper Kissinger of Troop E in Erie at (814) 898-1641.<\/p>\n

This investigation is ongoing at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are requesting the public\u2019s help in identifying the operator of a utility terrain vehicle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[136,142,138,137,1224,14006,17925,62182],"class_list":["post-220905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-erie","tag-erie-county","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news","tag-pennsylvania-state-police","tag-pursuit","tag-traffic-stop","tag-utv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
