NORWELL, MASS. (WHDH) - A Brockton man was arrested Tuesday following a high-speed chase in Norwell, police say.
Jonathan Alves, 23, was driving on Grove Street about 5:53 p.m. when Norwell police say he sped away from an officer who was trying to pull him over.
As he blew through a red light at the intersection of Grove and Washington streets he slammed into another vehicle and tried to flee the scene of the crash on foot, according to police.
He was arrested soon after on charges including failure to stop for police, operating to endanger, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash with personal injury, and possession of a Class A drug (heroin) with intent to distribute.
Both Alves and the other driver involved in the motor vehicle crash were taken to South Shore Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
