The M9 westbound carriageway reopened at around 5am.
Inspector Stephen Quinn said: “Our enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the vehicle which failed to stop are ongoing.
“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed this vehicle’s movements or was in the area around the time of the pursuit to contact police. Also, anyone with dash-cam footage which could assist our investigation should get in touch."
Anyone with information can contact police on 101, quoting incident number 0115 of 11 October.
