Man Faces Multiple Charges After Speeding, Hitting Cars, Fleeing on Foot

A Marlborough man is facing a multitude of charges after police say he sped away from them, crashed into several vehicles, and fled on foot into the heavy woods off Boston Post Road.

On Dec. 27 around 11:45 a.m., Sudbury police tried to stop a car on Landham Road in the area of Stagecoach Lane. The driver turned onto Stagecoach, turned around in a cul-de-sac, stopped momentarily and then took off when the officer got out of the cruiser. The driver sped past several vehicles as the police pursued, and crashed into two vehicles along the way, said police.

The driver stopped and jumped out of the car, fleeing into the heavily wooded, marshy area south of Boston Post Road.

With the help of the Wayland police, they established a perimeter and the Massachusetts State Police Canine Unit arrived. They were unable to locate the suspect, and two troopers and a Sudbury officer sustained numerous cuts and bruises while traversing the terrain.

An investigation, however, led them to an arrest.

Igor C. Campos, 21, 315 Hosmer St., Marlborough, was arrested on a warrant and charged with

• Altered Muffler/Exhaust
• Speeding
• Marked Lanes Violation
• Annoying Operation of a Motor Vehicle
• Operating to Endanger (Recklessly)
• Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident
• Failure to Stop for a Police Officer
• Operating with a Revoked License
• Disorderly Conduct
• Trespassing

He was taken into custody on Dec. 30. Two others are expected to be charged in connection with the case after misleading a police officer during the investigation.

Minor injuries were sustained by the one of the motorists struck but were not transported.
