A vehicle that sped away from a Wal-Mart store in Council Bluffs, Sunday evening, struck two motorcycles as the driver of the car attempted to evade police. Authorities say just before 7-p.m., officers responded to a theft in progress at the store located at 1800 North 16th street. Officers were advised the suspects were in a red Kia and were leaving the Walmart parking lot.

Police tried to perform a traffic stop while the car was still in the parking lot, but the Kia, with Nebraska license plates, drove away and the driver refused to stop. Officers pursued the car on Nash Blvd. towards North 25th Street. The car hit two motorcycles at the intersection of North 25th street and Nash Blvd. and left the scene of the accident, heading towards Omaha.

Officers followed the vehicle to the state line on I-480 west bound before terminating the pursuit. Omaha Police advised a short time later, that the vehicle was located, but the driver could not be found. At this time, this case is still under investigation. The drivers and passengers of both motorcycles suffered minor injuries, and all refused medical treatment by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue.
