BMW driver pulled over going nearly 140 mph on Sacramento freeway, CHP says
A driver was caught traveling nearly 140 mph on Interstate 80 in Sacramento over the weekend, California Highway Patrol officials said.
An officer’s radar clocked the driver of a black 2008 BMW 5-series sedan at 138 mph on westbound I-80 near Interstate 5 just before 2 a.m. Saturday, the CHP North Sacramento office said in a Tuesday social media post.
The driver, a 40-year-old West Sacramento man, was ticketed for speeding over 100 mph, driving with a suspended license and driving without proof of insurance — all infractions, according to a copy of the ticket posted by the CHP with the driver’s name and other identifying information redacted.
The driver was not arrested, though the CHP in its Facebook post called the speeding “irresponsible and selfish.”
The speed limit on the involved stretch of I-80 is 65 mph.
