Phillip Bryson Phillip Bryson At 10:59 p.m. Monday, State Police were notified to be on the lookout for a vehicle whose driver, later identified as Philip Bryson, 53, of Somersworth, had allegedly fled from a Hooksett Police officer during an attempted traffic stop. The vehicle, a 2015 white Ford Escape, was reported to be traveling northbound on I-93 from the Hooksett Welcome Center at speeds over 100 mph and with no taillights, State Police said in a news release Tuesday.

State troopers deployed spike strips, which deflated one of the Ford's front tires, officials said, but the driver continued north until exiting I-93 at Exit 17. The chase continued onto Route 4, through Boscawen and Salisbury, where the driver eventually turned onto Route 127, according to the report.
