A Bronx man is accused of leading Westchester County police on a dangerous chase Tuesday morning.
The incident happened around 1:20 a.m. when Pleasantville police say a car they tried to stop for a traffic violation sped away on Route 117.
County police spotted the car soon after heading southbound on the Sprain Brook Parkway near Jackson Avenue. The driver did not cooperate with the officer trying to stop it, authorities say.

Santana faces charges including reckless driving and criminal possession of stolen property. Police say he had stolen items from Pleasantville and New Castle – possibly from Postal Service mailboxes.
