(Central Iowa) – Iowa State Patrol Troopers worked a speed project recently near Ankeny, on Interstate 35 between Oralabor and 1st Street. In a social media post, the Patrol says 30 cars stopped for speeding. One driver, they said, was going 144mph. The driver’s excuse being, they “wanted to have a little fun.” The Patrol noted that person’s car was towed and the driver went to the Polk County Jail – they were charged with speed and reckless driving.
