SALEM, Ore. (AP) - The Marion County sheriff’s office says a deputy pulled over a motorcyclist accused of reaching a top speed of 133 mph on a Salem, Ore., street.
KPTV reports (https://is.gd/KAII89) the sheriff’s office says the deputy spotted the driver weaving in and out of traffic Monday afternoon and caught up to him in an unmarked Ford Mustang.
When the deputy turned on his radar, the sheriff’s office says it initially clocked the motorcyclist at 117 mph. Once the deputy activated his lights, that reading jumped to 133 mph.
The driver did pull over and reportedly was apologetic. The sheriff’s office says the 26-year-old man initially said he didn’t think he’d been going any faster than 95 to 97 mph.
He was cited for careless driving and violation of the maximum speed limit.
