Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol are cracking down on high-speed drivers in Lee County.
On Jan. 27, Lieutenant Gregory Bueno with the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said Troopers observed two vehicles traveling 119 mph in a posted 55 mph zone on State Road 82, in the area of 40th Street SW.
Bueno said one of the vehicles, a 2017 McLaren 570S, was eventually stopped for the violation.
“When a car is going 114 mph, 140 mph, 137 mph…something really really bad is going to happen,” said Lt. Bueno.
Bueno adds that State Road 82 is a busy area for people living in Southwest Florida.
“We have families and communities and schools that all share that state road 82 highway each and every day,” said Bueno.
