A police pursuit on the Massachusetts Turnpike Friday ended with troopers rescuing kittens from a burning vehicle.
Shortly after 4 p.m. Friday, Massachusetts State Police on patrol on the Mass. Pike spotted a vehicle traveling east in Framingham with no inspection sticker and whose owner had a suspended license.
The driver initially refused to stop the vehicle before pulling into the Natick Service Plaza. As troopers approached, she sped away and troopers pursued.
Shortly after, the vehicle was pulled over in the breakdown lane of the Mass. Pike. While in the breakdown lane, the vehicle began smoking from the undercarriage before catching fire.
The driver, a 26-year-old woman from Westford, was pulled from the vehicle by officers. “As they did so she flailed and kicked at them. Once she was subdued she told troopers that her kittens were still in the burning car, which by this point was fully engulfed,” State police spokesman David Procopio said.
Unable to access the car’s doors due to the flames, troopers smashed the car’s rear window and found the two kittens in a transport carrier and pulled them from the vehicle.
The woman was transported to a nearby hospital after she kicked at the windows of the cruiser and complained of pain. Charges are pending against the women which are expected to include license and inspection sticker violations, failure to stop for police, and assault and battery on a police officer.
The kittens were brought to a nearby animal shelter where a family member of the woman made arraignments to pick them up.
