A motorcyclist was apprehended Friday afternoon after leading Kansas Highway Patrol troopers on a 5-county chase.

It started in Ellsworth County, when the KHP attempted to stop the motorcyclist on K-14 for driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit.

Our news partners at KSN-TV report the chase moved to I-70 and a KHP aircraft joined the pursuit. Troopers on the ground backed off while other law enforcement agencies blocked the on- and off-ramps along the interstate to keep the motorcyclist on the highway.

That driver was eventually apprehended around 4 p.m. at mile marker 87, west of Grainfield in Gove County.
