Dumb Criminal: Driver Cited for Going 86 MPH in Blizzard Conditions
Despite a blizzard, a Lakeville driver thought it a good idea to drive 86 MPH across icy, snowy roads.
Tuesday morning there was a light dusting of snow, but the presence of a strong wind was creating very hazardous driving conditions, especially in the areas where there were open fields. Blowing snow across the roadway was also causing small areas of near blizzard conditions for motorists.
Officer Adam Stier was on duty, driving on Cedar Avenue when he noted a vehicle that appeared to be traveling at a high rate of speed. Officer Stier was able to stop the vehicle and identified the driver, who was then cited for Careless Driving, due to the dangerous road conditions.
The speed that Officer Stier clocked the violator’s vehicle traveling on his squad radar unit – 86 MPH.
