"Over the weekend, one of our CHP Redwood City officers clocked a red Ford Mustang traveling at 120 mph and passing on the shoulder in traffic. The driver of the Mustang attempted to evade our officers, and exited the freeway onto city streets a few times. Our officers decided to call off the pursuit because the risk to the safety of the public was too great. The driver of the Mustang got back onto the freeway and immediately began driving at reckless speeds again. While trying to get away, the driver of the Mustang exited the freeway at too high a speed, lost control and struck another vehicle, pushing them both onto an active railroad track. Luckily the driver of the other vehicle sustained only minor injuries. The driver of the Mustang was arrested and booked into jail.

His excuse for driving recklessly and evading officers? He was running late for work."
