MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – A Friday afternoon crash involving a motorcycle snarled traffic along Coleman Boulevard in Mount Pleasant.

It happened near the intersection of Coleman Boulevard and Houston Northcutt around 2:00 p.m.

An officer at the scene told News 2 that the motorcyclist “popped a wheelie” in front of law enforcement, who then attempted to stop them for reckless driving.

But before officers could stop the driver, the motorcyclist ran into a vehicle while it was trying to make a turn.
