Police car chase ends with arrest of Worcester man accused of crashing stolen truck four times
Tewksbury police arrested a Worcester man they say stole a truck and crashed it four times after a car chase Sunday afternoon. Daniel Riedl, 41, pleaded not guilty to four counts of leaving the scene of a car crash with property damage and one count each of larceny of a motor vehicle, negligent operation, operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license, failure to stop for police, speeding and a marked lanes violation during his arraignment in Lowell District Court on Monday, according to court records. On June 22, Tewksbury police received a report shortly after 1:20 p.m. that a white Ford F-250 had been stolen from the Petroil gas station on Main Street, the police department said in a press release. Officers soon located the truck and attempted to pull it over, but the driver — who was later identified as Riedl — did not stop for police. A short time later, the truck hit a nearby Honda Civic and fled the scene, police said. Tewksbury police then received reports of a crash involving the truck and a Kia Sorento. Officers soon located the stolen truck again, but decided to stop chasing it due to Riedl's dangerous driving, police said. They continued tracking it as Riedl drove toward I-495 south, but he crashed into a traffic light and backed into a Tewksbury police cruiser before continuing onto the highway. Officers then notified Massachusetts State Police of truck's location, and troopers soon pulled it over and arrested Riedl, Tewksbury police said. He was released on personal recognizance bail during his arraignment and is due back in court on July 22, according to court records.
