The State Highway Patrol has identified the suspect and the victim involved in a fatal wreck involving a motorcycle Tuesday morning.
According to Sgt. Michael Baker, troopers attempted to stop a 2013 Toyota traveling east on US 74 in Brunswick County for going 79 mph in a 55 mph zone.
The driver, identified as Eduard Patrick, 26, of Liberty, did not stop, and led troopers on a chase into New Hanover County.
