Once I was safely across the intersection, I continued to pursue the motorcycle. The motorcycle approached a white Ford 150 traveling north on State Route 23 and attempted to pass it. The driver's helmet struck the driver's mirror on the Ford F-150 and he lost control of the motorcycle. The motorcycle traveled off the left shoulder of State Route 23 and struck the ditch drain. After impact with the drain, the motorcycle vaulted into the air, struck a tree, and the driver was thrown off the motorcycle. The driver was thrown across Burton Street and into a barrier in the parking lot of the post office. The driver struck the barrier, and was decapitated. When I pulled in the entrance of the post office, I observed the driver's head and motorcycle to the left of the barrier and his body to the right of the barrier, near the front door of the post office.

If the skull is intact, the helmet did it's job.
Brain bucket.
Brain bucket.
Helicopter gunships would end the pursuit.
“Die Walküre” playing in the background.
“yes, I realize that police officers are skilled, trained drivers but that isn’t, can’t be enough to prevent crashes in high speed chases..”

If you hit a tree at 130 mph, the helmet won’t matter.
that might indeed
(or just have the copter follow until the car pulls over somewhere?)

Tragic story. But he died doing what he loved.
The golden age of motorcycling really is over, now that motorcyclists think they can survive in today’s high-speed superhighways, with distracted car and truck drivers weaving four to six lanes.
Motorcycling was great in the 1950s when America had fewer than half the people it now has, no superhighways, no SUVs, fewer cars because of mostly one-car families, fewer trucks because of more local farms and manufacturers supplying proprietor-owned stores instead of big chainstores, lower speed limits, fewer women drivers, fewer drivers with kids in the car on devices, etc. It’s crazy, but I encounter motorcyclists in the heaviest-traveled roads during rush hour coming out of DC, as just one example. It’s suicidal.
