NBC-10 in Boston reports the vehicle was first spotted by police in Amesbury, Massachusetts, but they were unable to stop him.

Massachusetts State Police used a helicopter to locate the vehicle on I-495, where it briefly crossed into New Hampshire before, once again, driving into Massachusetts.

Officials used stop sticks to try to halt the pursuit on Route 125, but Depina continued to drive before crashing in Haverhill.

Police say Depina tried to run away from the crash, but was quickly caught by officers.
