(Council Bluffs, Iowa) – The Iowa State Patrol, Thursday, reported on social media, that Trooper Boyd Burn from Post Three in Council Bluffs, stopped a 19-year-old driver Wednesday night, in Fremont County. The man was clocked doing 109 mph in a 55. When asked what the hurry was, the young man’s excuse was that “He just bought car and wanted to show his friends how fast it could go.”

Last week, a young driver who said he was going to see family in Cedar Rapids, was clocked at 101 miles per hour. He said wanted “to beat the snow storm” that was about to hit eastern Iowa. A few days earlier, the driver of a pickup truck was pulled over near Cedar Rapids, after his speed on the Trooper’s radar indicated the truck was traveling 119 mph.

And, during the first week of the New Year, an 18-year-old male in the Waterloo area was pulled over for speeding up to 133 mph in the posted 60 mph zone. His fine: $515, plus an additional Reckless Driving charge.
