AURORA, Colo. — Law enforcement agencies in Colorado have caught several drivers traveling more than 100 mph in the last week.
The Park County Sheriff’s Office said they found a driver going nearly 130 mph in the mountains west of Denver.
The driver was pulled over Friday after speeding at 128 mph, according to the deputy’s radar. That's nearly double the highest speed limit in Colorado of 75 mph.
The Aurora Police Department said an officer clocked three separate drivers going more than 100 mph on Interstate 225 on Independence Day.
The Aurora traffic officer shared photos of the speeding drivers clocked going 101 mph, 102 mph and 103 mph.
"As a result, all three drivers now have mandatory court appearances to speak with a judge about their reckless speeds," Aurora Police Department said. "Driving this fast is not only illegal and dangerous but potentially deadly. Don't risk anyone else's life, or your own, by driving this fast."
