18-year-old Mass. woman arrested after allegedly fleeing N.H. police on motorcycle at speeds over 120 mph
Juliana Gobbi is facing several charges.
A Massachusetts woman was arrested on Wednesday in New Hampshire after allegedly refusing to stop for police and operating a motorcycle at speeds over 120 mph.
At 8:30 a.m. that day, police received a report of a white motorcycle traveling at a high speed that was “passing other vehicles in an unsafe manner” while going north on Interstate 93 in Concord, according to a statement from New Hampshire State Police.
State troopers attempted to stop the motorcyclist, later identified as Juliana R. Gobbi, 18, of Brockton, Massachusetts, near Exit 23, but Gobbi didn’t stop and accelerated to speeds over 120 mph, authorities said.

Troopers lost sight of Gobbi and “disengaged from the pursuit,” the statement said.
Shortly after, Gobbi was allegedly seen speeding in the northbound lanes of I-93 in Ashland and again in Campton, where she exited the interstate at Exit 28, officials said.
Troopers then saw her at a gas station on Route 49 and tried to conduct a motor vehicle stop, but Gobbi allegedly attempted to flee for a second time.
As Gobbi tried to escape from police this time, she allegedly drove into the front of a stopped State Police cruiser at a “low speed” and “lost control.” Police said she was not hurt.
