The trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver of the Chrysler failed to pull over, police said. The driver, an 18-year-old from Stoneham, continued onto Route 101 at the Hampton Side Toll Plaza, with the trooper following as the vehicle traveled westbound through Hampton and Exeter."
