A man accused of leading police on a cross-state chase from New Hampshire into Massachusetts Wednesday has been taken to the hospital with serious injuries after crashing during the pursuit.
Members of the New Hampshire State Police Special Enforcement Unit and other troopers were using a state police airp0lace to conduct traffic enforcement on I-95 in Greenland when they spotted a dark-colored vehicle traveling around 100 mph.
An officer on the ground attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver kept speeding south.
State police in New Hampshire notified Massachusetts State Police shortly before noon that a vehicle was fleeing south into Bay State at a high rate of speed after failing to stop for authorities, an MSP spokesperson told Boston 25 News.
An MSP trooper with the Newbury barracks joined the chase on Route 95 southbound before pulling back for safety reasons within a few minutes, MSP say.
The fleeing car then crashed at the Exit 76B off-ramp while trying to pull off the highway. He suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to MSP.
The driver will be summonsed to court at a later date for criminal charges stemming from the portion of the incident in Massachusetts, MSP says.
Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis Reconstruction Section and Crime Scene Services responded to the crash scene.
The identity of the driver remains under investigation and criminal charges in both states will follow.
