Tri-Valley CHP Clocks I-580 Driver Going 147 MPH
It was the second time in two days that the California Highway Patrol reported seeing a driver going more than 100 mph in the area.
EAST BAY, CA — The California Highway Patrol's Dublin office reported nabbing two drivers, in two consecutive days, driving faster than 100 mph.
The first report came Monday morning, after CHP apparently stopped a driver going 113 mph:
“I just wanted to see how long my new commute will take...”
