Worcester man arrested after leading police on 100 mph chase in stolen car, hitting patrol car – NBC Boston

A Massachusetts man faces multiple charges after he allegedly led police on a two-state chase in a stolen car at over 100 mph, ramming a patrol car in the process.

On Monday at approximately 11:45 p.m., a State Police trooper observed a vehicle traveling north on Interstate 95 in Portsmouth at over 100 mph with lane control issues. The trooper attempted to pull the vehicle over, but it sped up and refused to stop.

Police gave chase and the driver of the vehicle, a Toyota Camry reported stolen in Wilmington, Massachusetts, continued north on I-95 at a high rate of speed and crossed the border into Kittery, Maine. New Hampshire State Troopers continued to pursue the car while Maine authorities responded.

The stolen vehicle exited I-95 at Exit 3 and Kittery police took over the pursuit, with New Hampshire police continuing to provide assistance. The Toyota eventually crossed the border into York, Maine and entered a dead end street. At this point, the driver turned around and crashed into the patrol car of a New Hampshire State Police patrol car. The crash ended the pursuit and the driver of the Toyota was arrested without further incident. No one was injured in the crash.

The driver of the Toyota was identified by police as 42-year-old Steven Hebert of Worcester, Massachusetts. He was arrested and taken to the Kittery Police Department. Authorities said he faces multiple charges in Maine and New Hampshire related to the pursuit and the stolen car.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Trooper Cameron Vetter at 603-223-4381.
