- Deputies stumbled on racers hitting triple-digit speeds on Houston’s 610 Loop.
- Five cars seized as Texas’ tough forfeiture law continues reshaping enforcement.

If you’re going to treat a major urban freeway like your personal drag strip, don’t be surprised when it ends with flashing lights, handcuffs, and your car disappearing onto a tow truck. That’s exactly how things played out last week in Houston, where deputies interrupted an alleged street race already pushing well into triple-digit territory.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, several drivers were arrested early Wednesday morning after being caught racing on the South Loop of Interstate 610. Deputies reportedly came across the group in progress, clocking speeds between 90 and 100 mph (145 and 160 km/h), possibly higher, before initiating traffic stops.
