WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — For the third time this week, law enforcement officers are warning about drivers going over 100 mph on Kansas roads.
The most recent case was on Interstate 70 in Saline County Thursday morning.
Around 7 a.m., a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper noticed a vehicle racing up behind him. The trooper took the exit ramp, let the speeder go by, and then got back on I-70 and pulled the SUV over.
The KHP says the 28-year-old Colorado driver was cruising at 106 mph in a 75 mph zone, tailgating, and failing to stay in his lane. The trooper wrote the man a ticket. The cost to the driver is $468.
Kansas Wesleyan death ‘not a criminal matter,’ police say
The KHP posted an image of part of the ticket on social media with this message:
“The roadway is for everyone, NOT just for one driver to do as they wish. #SlowDown “
Late on Tuesday night, the Wichita Police Department said a Mustang was going 106 mph on Rock Road. Before police could stop the car, it crashed into a concrete barrier at Kellogg. The 22-year-old driver was critically injured but is expected to survive.
