State Police say the chase began around 12:45 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27, when troopers spotted the truck moving erratically on the University Avenue ramp leading to Interstate 95 North. When the driver refused to stop, authorities escalated the situation, deploying multiple cruisers, the Air Wing, and a K9 unit.
The chase took a dangerous turn when the big rig exited the highway at Exit 33, crashing on the Great Plain Avenue off-ramp in West Roxbury. Instead of surrendering, the driver jumped out and took off on foot.
Police immediately locked down the area, bringing in support from Dedham officers to track down the suspect. Although the search came up empty, video footage from the area provided investigators with key details.
Adding another twist, Canton Police confirmed that the same tractor-trailer was already wanted in connection with a hit-and-run crash involving property damage earlier in the day.
State Police say the case remains an active investigation. Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities.
