DUVAL COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida Highway Patrol trooper is facing a long recovery after her patrol cruiser was badly damaged in a 115-mph super speeder motorcycle chase crash at Argyle Forest Boulevard and Merchants Gate Drive on June 21, according to a GoFundMe set up by the family.
Ra’Jean Martin was pursuing a super speeder suspect going 115 miles per hour in her vehicle when she was injured, FHP said. She is now facing multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation, the fundraiser reads.
The images above shows extensive damage to the car after she clipped a curb and lost control of her car. It appears the car flipped several times.
“The impact of her injuries has been profound, not only for Trooper Martin but also for her family and loved ones who are supporting her through this difficult time,” the family said.
FHP Trooper Dillon Bryan said investigators have limited information about the motorcyclist, saying he was riding a dark colored motorcycle wearing dark clothing, and a black and white helmet.
“Obviously, we’d like to bring him to justice for this incident, he’s done this before, this was a very brazen action, he will face multiple criminal charges if he is captured,” Bryan said.
He said Martin’s pursuit was an act of bravery.
“Our goal is to remove the dangerous drivers off the highway, because these hazardous violations are happening day in and day out, in front of us, you, our family and our friends,” Bryan said.
