BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) trooper had to push his patrol car to 131 mph early Sunday morning to catch a driver allegedly speeding more than 40 mph over the limit and weaving through traffic on Interstate 95.
According to the arrest report, the incident happened around 2:41 a.m. on August 4 near Viera Boulevard (mile marker 193). Trooper Logan Koller reported seeing a dark-colored sedan traveling at a much higher rate of speed than other vehicles, overtaking traffic on the left.
The driver, later identified as 29-year-old Brandon Matthew Barfield of Deltona, reportedly weaved around slower vehicles at the 192-mile marker, using all three lanes to pass. Koller accelerated to catch up, clocking his patrol vehicle at 131 mph as he closed the gap.
