BOURNE, Mass. — One person was arrested after a high-speed police chase ended in a crash after the suspect headed the wrong way into the Bourne rotary, according to Massachusetts State Police.
Just before 1:30 Sunday morning, a State Trooper observed the operator of a 2011 Nissan Altima using his cellphone along Rt. 6 in Bourne, but when the Trooper attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver fled at a high speed.
The Trooper began to pursue the suspect’s vehicle but terminated pursuit when the driver entered Grandma’s Rotary in Bourne going in the wrong direction ending in a crash at the intersection of Main Street and Wagner Way. The suspect then fled the scene.
After contacting a family member, the suspect returned to the scene and was found to not have an active driver’s license.
Meanwhile, a Trooper located a government document in the vehicle with the name of Juan Sanchez, 18, of Hyannis, and a photo that matched the description of the driver.
Sanchez was arrested and charged with failure to stop for police, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, holding an electronic device while driving, wrong-way violation, marked lanes violation, and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
According to police, Sanchez posted bail Sunday morning and will be arraigned later this week.
