80 MPH Rampage From MA To RI Captured On Camera: Watch
The 23-year-old from Ashland stole a truck in Hopkinton and careened across the region, rear-ending one driver in Bellingham, police said.

BELLINGHAM, MA — Bellingham police are sharing a video of a local man's speeding rampage through town in a stolen truck last month, footage that includes the moment the man rear-ended another driver going more than 70 MPM.
According to police, the Ashland man stole the truck in Hopkinton on Jan. 14 and drove it south into Bellingham at speeds near 80 MPH. The truck was equipped with a camera that recorded the driver, the view in front of the truck and the speed of the vehicle.
"He narrowly avoids three vehicles before colliding with a fourth and then flees the scene of the crash before responding officers arrive," police said.
