SAN ANTONIO – A motorcyclist found himself in a tough situation after a routine traffic stop turned into a chase. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the rider was identified as 29-year-old Wilfredo Mattei.
The incident began around 9:50 a.m. on a Monday when troopers tried to pull over Mattei, who was riding a black sport motorcycle. However, instead of stopping, Mattei sped away, leading to a brief pursuit.
