GREENLAND, NH — A teenager from Maine was arrested on Wednesday after being accused of driving up to 127 mph on Interstate 95.

Around 3 a.m., a New Hampshire State Police trooper on a routine patrol on I-95 north in North Hampton saw a 2015 BMW 5-series speeding. The vehicle was clocked at 118 mph, according to Amber Lagace, a public information officer with New Hampshire State Police.

While continuing to drive north, the trooper said the vehicle began to drive faster and was clocked at 127 mph, she noted. In Greenland, the trooper stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver, Hayley Lawrence, 18, of Eliot, Maine. She was arrested on a reckless driving charge.
