A driver was arrested by state police on Monday night after being caught going 118 miles per hour on Interstate 84 in Vernon. The driver, a 29-year-old Mansfield man, was spotted speeding in a Toyota Camry in a 65-mile-per-hour zone by a state trooper around 9:40 p.m. The trooper used a laser to track the speed of the vehicle and subsequently stopped the driver.
The suspect has been charged with reckless driving and was later released on a $5,000 bond. The Toyota was towed from the scene and the driver is scheduled to be arraigned in Rockville Superior Court on Aug. 28.
Speeding is a serious offense that not only endangers the driver but also puts other motorists at risk. State police are reminding drivers to obey speed limits and drive safely to prevent accidents and injuries on the road. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of following traffic laws and regulations to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
Drivers should always be aware of their speed, especially on highways where high speeds can lead to catastrophic consequences. State police will continue to monitor traffic and enforce laws to keep drivers safe and prevent dangerous incidents like this one on Interstate 84.
