Goshen, N.Y. — After being clocked driving over 100 miles per hour multiple times Sunday morning, an 18-year-old was arrested and given 43 traffic tickets, according to New York State Police.
The chase, which started in Goshen, landed the unnamed 18-year-old several criminal charges, including first-degree reckless endangerment, third-degree reckless driving and fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle, police said.
The chase began at 10:12 a.m. on State Route 17 in Goshen, when a trooper saw a 2003 Infiniti G35 being driven east at 117 mph, according to police.
The driver of the Infiniti weaved the car through traffic and cut off other drivers before driving off the highway at Exit 129, police said.
A trooper found the car in a park-and-ride lot and began walking toward the car to talk to the driver, according to police.
Instead, the driver fled on Route 17 and then on Interstate 87 as troopers kept chasing the car, police said.
After the Infiniti reached 148 mph, troopers called off the chase, according to police.
State police matched the license plate on the Infiniti to another vehicle registered in New York City, police said. Troopers found the owner of the uninvolved car, who was related to the driver of the Infiniti, according to police.
New York City police detained the 18-year-old in Queens, and turned him over to troopers in New York City, police said.
The driver was released with an appearance ticket to return to the Goshen Town Court on April 12.
