ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – A St. Johns County driver is facing criminal charges after going nearly 40 mph over the speed limit on Interstate 95 — during rush hour.
A St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office deputy clocked the vehicle at 108 mph in a posted 70 mph zone on I-95 northbound around 6:25 a.m. Thursday.
The driver was spotted weaving past law enforcement and other vehicles in heavy morning traffic before a radar device locked in the speed.
A deputy issued the citation, which carries a charge of dangerous excessive speeding at 100 mph or more — a criminal violation under Florida Statute 316.1922(1)(b) that requires a mandatory court appearance. No crash, injuries or property damage were reported.
The driver is due in court July 29 at 1:30 p.m. for arraignment.
