On July 4, 2011 at about 8:00 PM Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Eric Sorby attempted to stop a dirt bike near the intersection of W Highway 20 and Clark Loop in Toledo. The rider, Grayson Wolf Spencer, 34, of Toledo failed to yield to the deputy and traveled eastbound on Hwy 20 at a high rate of speed. After pursuing Spencer for several miles, he lost control of the motorcycle while on the shoulder of the road and crashed near MP 8 on Highway 20.
