A stolen car crashed off a highway during a chase through Massachusetts on Monday, leading to the arrest of three people inside, police said.
The car crashed off Interstate 290 in Northborough, causing heavy delays. Two of the people inside were taken to a hospital, according to Massachusetts State Police.
The police pursuit began in the MetroWest area, and a state police helicopter tracked it on Route 9, Interstate 495, Route 70 and I-290, troopers said.

Police deployed stop sticks, a tire-deflation device, officials said, and the car eventually crashed.
"This world is upside-down, it seems like," said Scott Sundin, who was on his way to Holden when the chase went flying past him.
"We were just driving home," said Sundin. "My wife and I, Monday afternoon, 2:30 in the afternoon, you'd think that's a safe time to be driving, no rush hour, no nothing. To have something like that happen it's just mind boggling to tell you the truth."
The couple came upon the aftermath of the crash.
"The police were escorting an individual out of the car in handcuffs," he said.
His own car ran over the stop sticks and tore one of his tires.
"The tire's completely ruined," he said. "It had a huge puncture slash in the side wall."
Police didn't immediately have more confirmed information to share, including where the car was stolen from.
