YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, Massachusetts State Police arrested a man after a vehicle reportedly took off from one of their troopers at over 100 mph on Route 6 early Sunday morning in Yarmouth.

A short while after troopers began searching for the speeding vehicle, which had reportedly fled, Yarmouth police officers were called to a single-vehicle crash on Starbuck Lane.

The vehicle was found empty, with the driver nowhere in sight.

Yarmouth police were in the process of setting up a perimeter and calling in a K-9 unit when one of their patrol officers located the possible driver walking on Arrowhead Drive, a block from the crash scene.

The 34-year-old claimed he was the passenger, but further investigation led officers to believe otherwise.

The man was taken into custody and transported to the State Police barracks in South Yarmouth for booking.

HN has reached out to State Police officials for additional details.

The following HN Video highlights the crash scene and arrest.
