BOSTON (WHDH) - Shocking video released by the Department of Transportation shows the moment police say a 21-year-old Boston man sped into the Sumner Tunnel when it was closed for an ongoing construction project early Saturday morning.
Troopers responding to a report of a 2008 Dodge RAM pickup truck operating erratically in the closed tunnel around 2 a.m. arrested Elvis Nazaret Escobar Sr. after he allegedly zig-zagged through a construction zone at a high rate of speed and nearly struck three workers, according to state police.
He was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, trespassing in a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of a crash causing property damage, and operating an uninsured and unregistered motor vehicle.
