WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Police are looking for a driver that led a state trooper on a wild chase late Saturday night, which ended at the Beauty Gate Salon and Day Spa on Riverdale Street.

A Massachusetts State Trooper spotted a gray Buick driving around 90 miles per hour in a construction zone on Interstate 91 in West Springfield.

 After the trooper turned on its sirens, the driver sped up and exited onto Route 5.
