Overview

  • New Hampshire troopers initiated the pursuit just after midnight when a Dodge Ram failed to stop for speeding and erratic driving.
  • Authorities identified the driver as Matthew Olsen, 44, of Harrison, Maine.
  • The chase crossed into Maine, where the truck struck a curb at the Kennebunk Rest Area and damaged a tire before reentering the Turnpike.
  • Maine State Police disabled the vehicle with a PIT maneuver on I-95, and Olsen was taken to a hospital as a precaution before being booked at York County Jail.
