Police say driver awakens from his slumber - in the high-speed lane of 93 north

State Police report that when a trooper rolled up to a car stopped in the high-speed lane near exit 13 around 4:50 this morning, he found an apparently unconscious man behind the wheel. Who then woke up and took off:

[Eric] FUNES refused to stop and led Trooper [James] DeAngelis on a low speed pursuit down the highway. Additional troopers responded to assist Trooper DeAngelis. In the area of Exit 15, toopers deployed a tire deflation device. FUNES’ vehicle traveled over the tire deflation device and as a result FUNES’ vehicle sustained three flat tires and stopped shortly thereafter in the left lane prior to the Tip O’Neil Tunnel. The entire pursuit lasted for approximately three miles.

Funes, 29, of Framingham, was charged with OUI, second offense, failure to stop for police, driving to endanger and marked-lanes violations. He'll be arraigned Tuesday in Dorchester District Court.

Innocent, etc.
