High-speed police pursuit comes to an end in northern Mass.
Police were involved in a high-speed chase with a vehicle that began in the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts.
At one point, police were chasing the black SUV on Interstate 93 south in Methuen, and more recently it was on Interstate 190 south in Sterling.
The chase began sometime around 10 a.m., and continued from I-93 onto Interstate 495. At one point the vehicle was seen driving off the highway and through the median to evade police.
The state police Air Wing was up over the chase, and police used stop sticks in an effort to end the chase. Around 11:18 a.m., it appeared the SUV had been stopped and was surrounded by police vehicles.
No details have been released by authorities about what might have led to the chase.

MBTA Red Line is now without slow zones for the first time in at least 20 years
The MBTA’s Red Line, spanning from Braintree to Cambridge, has resumed full service following track work that has removed the last slow zones on the rapid transit line.
Monday marks the first time in at least two decades that the Red Line has been without an active speed restriction, according to an MBTA spokesperson.
The recent Red Line service impacts that ended Sunday were to replace aging tracks and ties to remedy the speed restrictions.
The number of speed restrictions on the MBTA system has been plummeting recently amid a massive repair campaign. In September of 2023, more than a third of the subway network was impacted by a slow zone.
As of Monday, there were just two speed restrictions in place — impacting .3 miles of the Green Line. The MBTA said it expects to lift those final slow zones in December.
