COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Court records show that identifying the motorcyclist and Youtuber who allegedly went over 170 miles per hour on I-25 between Colorado Springs and Denver, took security camera footage, cell phone records, and connections to a Texas Sheriff.
In September of 2023, law enforcement says a motorcycle driver, identified by Colorado State Patrol (CSP) as Rendon Dietzmann, got on his motorcycle, turned on his camera, and attempted to cut the drive time from Colorado Springs to Denver in half by sustaining speeds of over 100 mph the whole way there.
CSP says that he entered I-25 at the Garden of the Gods exit and exited just south of Denver. Court records indicate that Dietzmann did this during a time of moderate to heavy traffic, requiring him to use the shoulder and split lanes to accomplish his task.
“A lot of people aren’t prepared for somebody splitting lines in between them when they’re riding next to a car, especially someone going that speed,” Trooper Gabriel Moltrer with the Colorado State Patrol said. “So just knowing the force that is exerting as they’re passing on, especially that close, they’re going to feel it in the car.”
