Two teenagers accused of leading police on a chase that ended with a state trooper in the hospital have been arrested.
State police said 18-year-old Chad Barrett, of Danielson, and 19-year-old Nathan Cordell, of Putnam, led police on a chase just after 11 p.m. Thursday.
The chase started in Plainfield and Plainfield Police stopped the pursuit when the car got to the Killingly line, according to state police.
At that point, state police tried to stop the 2016 Chevy Impala, but the Barrett continued onto Route 6 into Brooklyn, where state troopers tried to box in the vehicle, police said.
Instead of stopping, Barrett swerved and hit mailboxes as well as a police vehicle, which hit a tree, according to police.
The Chevy Impala then went off the road, hit a stone wall at Route 6 and Laurel Hill in Brooklyn and police apprehended Barrett and Cordell, the passenger.
The state trooper who was injured was transported to Backus Plainfield Urgent Care to be treated for minor injuries. The trooper has been released.
Barrett declined medical attention and Cordell was taken to Day Kimball Hospital and has been released.
Police said they determined the Impala had been stolen.
Several charges were filed against Barrett, including reckless driving, first-degree larceny of a motor vehicle, drinking while operating a motor vehicle and other charges. Bond was set at $50,000.
Cordell was charged with weapons in vehicles, possession of alcohol by a minor and interfering with an officer. His bond was set at $5,000.
