SUFFIELD, Conn. (AP) - Police say a man crashed a vehicle in Connecticut and fled the scene, leading them on a chase.

The New Britain man crashed into another vehicle Friday night in Suffield on Interstate 91, and allegedly led state troopers on an eight-mile chase.

Twenty-year-old Edward Martinez was arrested on a ramp off Route 75. Martinez is being held on $5,000 bail for five charges, including engaging police in a pursuit, and reckless endangerment.



No further information is available about possible injuries associated with the crash.

An attorney for Martinez could not be immediately identified through online court records.
