WEST BOYLSTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A suspect was taken into custody Monday morning after leading police on a high-speed chase from New Hampshire to Massachusetts.
Authorities said the driver, Andrew McInnes, 40, had stolen the Mercedes SUV in which he was fleeing from police from a dealership around 7:30 a.m. in Derry, New Hampshire, where the pursuit began.
McInnes, who is from Methuen, then headed south on Route 101, after which police shortly called off the chase. Authorities picked up the pursuit once again after the car was seen on Route 93 south in New Hampshire.
The car then entered Massachusetts on that highway before exiting to Route 495 towards Fitchburg. The chase reached speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, according to the Massachusetts State Police.
Brianna Weir and Ian Ocasio watched the chase race by them while they were at a gas station in Sterling.
“Right in that split second, the Mercedes drove by. He was doing at least 100 miles an hour. And then right behind him was at least 30 State Police cars,” Weir said.
The chase ended on Route 12 in West Boylston near the Sterling town line after a roughly hour-long high speed chase, during which the McInnes changed directions by driving across a highway median.
The stolen SUV was towed away. McInnes is expected to face charges both in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
