Driver captured after wild police chase on I-190, Route 12 in Sterling, Massachusetts
STERLING – A dramatic, high speed police chase in central Massachusetts came to a peaceful end Monday morning when the driver surrendered to officers.
As seen live via helicopter on CBS News Boston, police were pursuing an SUV on Interstate 190 south in Sterling around 11 a.m. when the car nearly collided with another vehicle, then suddenly pulled into the median, swung around into a U-turn and took off on the opposite side of the highway.
After driving in the northbound lanes for a few miles, with police keeping their distance from the SUV, the driver got off the highway at exit 14 and continued onto Route 12.
Several minutes later, the SUV pulled over to the side of the road near Sterling’s border with West Boylston. Moments later, the car was surrounded by four police cruisers. The driver got out with his hands up, was immediately handcuffed and taken away.
The driver has not been identified yet and there’s no word as to why police were pursuing him or the SUV.
There have been no reports of any injuries.
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
