Updated: 2009-10-19 20:56 GOSSAU, Switzerland: An Italian man has taken reckless driving to new heights in 11 frantic minutes of traffic violations in eastern Switzerland. Authorities say they first spotted the 47-year-old driver as he sped his jeep past an unmarked police car at 160 kmh (100 mph) in a rainstorm Sunday.
The man drove through a construction zone at 140 kmh (87 mph), nearly twice the speed limit, before being stopped. Police seized the man's driver's license, and a judge ordered him tested for medications and illegal drugs. Police said Monday the man racked up 15 traffic violations in 11 minutes. |
