The trooper attempted to make a traffic stop but the rider, 20-year-old Christian Robert Markus Snyder, allegedly led the trooper on a chase at speeds over 140 mph.
Snyder got off the highway on the Ballentine Boulevard exit, ran a red light, and got back on I-264 West. VSP said he got off the highway again on Brambleton Avenue and ran another red light at Parks Avenue.
Near Marshall Ave., Snyder reportedly veered off the road and crashed head-on into a concrete wall at the end of Brambleton Boulevard, just before Cecelia Street, near the railroad tracks.
VSP said rescue crews were immediately dispatched and despite attempts at CPR, Snyder, a Norfolk resident, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Court records show Snyder had a pending ticket from 9 days earlier for speeding 80 in a 55-mph zone.
