Brevard County Man Arrested After Driving Motorcycle 132 MPH on I-95
Man claims he was late for work
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — A motorcyclist was arrested Thursday after Brevard County Sheriff’s deputies say he was clocked traveling 132 miles per hour on Interstate 95, weaving through traffic and splitting lanes.
According to Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, Deputy Brad McLaughlin of the Traffic Enforcement Unit was patrolling I-95 when he observed a motorcycle rapidly approaching from behind.
The rider, identified as Jonathan Hernandez, was traveling at 132 mph, according to the sheriff.
Sheriff Ivey said Hernandez slowed down after noticing the deputy’s patrol vehicle, but by then the excessive speed had already been observed.
Hernandez pulled over without incident and reportedly told deputies he was speeding because he was late for work.
Sheriff Ivey said Hernandez was also lane splitting and weaving in and out of traffic, calling the behavior “absolutely inexcusable.”
“For his sake, he is lucky to be alive driving like that on a motorcycle, let alone not causing an accident and hurting anyone else,” Ivey said.
The sheriff used the incident as a reminder for motorists to drive responsibly and consider the safety of everyone on the road.
“Please drive safely for the sake of your lives and others,” Ivey said.
Authorities have not released additional information regarding the charges Hernandez may face.
