A Terre Haute man was killed Friday in a motorcycle crash while fleeing law enforcement.

Just before 7 p.m., Parke County deputies tried to stop a speeding motorcycle in the area of U.S. 41 and 900 South.  The driver, Stephen David Kellams, 31, was operating a 2015 Harley Davidson.  Kellams refused to stop and fled northbound at a high rate of speed and passing vehicles.

Kellams was clocked as high as 95 mph.

At U.S. 41 and 600 West, Kellams lost control and skidded into a guardrail and was ejected from the motorcycle.  Kellams was declared dead at the scene.

Kellams was not wearing a helmet.  A toxicology screen will be conducted during the autopsy.

Assisting in the incident were the Clinton Police Department, Vermilion County Sheriff’s Department, Rockville Police Department, Lyford Police Department and Parke County EMS.
