BRAINTREE, MASS. (WHDH) - A driver in a stolen car led police on a high-speed chase early Saturday morning that started in Braintree and ended with a crash in Boston, officials said.
A trooper who spotted a vehicle that had just been reported stolen in Braintree tried to pull over the driver on Interstate 93 northbound around 3:30 a.m. but they refused to stop and sped away in excess of 100 mph, according to state police.
Due to backed up traffic entering the Thomas P. O’Neill Tunnel as a result of lane closures from a double-fatal motorcycle crash, state police terminated the pursuit as it approached the tunnel.
The driver later crashed into a barrier at Exit 20.
They were arrested nearby after a brief foot chase.
There were no reported injuries.
State police have not said what charges the suspect may be facing.
