Deputy Placed on Leave After Video Shows His Cruiser Colliding with Suspects Motorcycle

Berkeley County South Carolina deputy has been placed on leave after colliding with a speeding motorcycle during a chase Wednesday night, resulting in a wreck that killed the rider.

 According to a report in the Post and Courier, the video footage, which the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office posted Thursday on YouTube, appears to show the cruiser hit the motorcycle twice during a crash that officials attributed, in part, to the rider's sharp braking. The clip does not show the deputy swerving to avoid a collision, but officials said the contact did not appear purposeful.

Jump to about 5 minutes in to see where the cruiser hit the biker the first time.
