High-Speed Chase

3/3 at 12:45 a.m. Falmouth officers responded to a crash near 308 Blackstrap Road involving a vehicle that was being pursued by Cumberland Police. According to police, Chase Blanchard, 22, of Falmouth, refused to pull over for Cumberland officers for speeding, leading them on a chase that ended in a violent crash just 200 yards from Blanchard’s residence. Officers allege that Blanchard reached speeds of 90 mph before losing control of his 2004 Chevy pick-up and slamming into a tree. Police suspect alcohol and speed were factors in Blanchard’s crash. Cumberland police are pursuing charges against Blanchard, who was reportedly in critical condition at Maine Medical Center last week.
