Two people were arrested Sunday morning by the Racine County Sheriff’s deputies for driving well in excess of the speed limit through the Interstate 94 construction zone.
At 8:55 a.m., a deputy clocked a vehicle traveling 110 mph in a posted 60 mph construction zone in the northbound lane on I-94 in the Village of Raymond.
The deputy spoke with the driver — 41-year-old Jose L. Mendoza of Racine — about his speed, and allegedly smelled the odor of intoxicants coming from Mendoza.
Mendoza reportedly refused to perform field sobriety tests and was arrested and cited for speeding.
Suggested charges of operating while impaired, reckless driving and not having insurance, as well as a bail jumping charge because Mendoza was out on bond for a previous arrest in Milwaukee County, were referred to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office for review.

Either Jorge or the chosen one’s buddy, works.
You mean the amateur rocket launching site? Haha, I’ve been there a couple times and it has nothing to do with pot smokers.
Most of us and I agree totally with you.
In Utah they put up some traffic barrels and post the Double fines for speeding in a work zone” sign. You can go weeks and months without ever seeing any work actually being done. I have no trust in work zone rules. It’s often just for revenue.
I would wager this has something to do with the bizarre driving behaviors in this area.
Stoners don't speed.
About a year ago, I passed a semi one night on the PA turnpike. For some reason the driver didn’t take a liking to me and got right on my bumper. As I sped up, so did he. By this time we were in a construction zone. It was late at night. At one point, I was doing 105 in the construction zone and this dude was right behind me but starting to fade. He was probably at least at 100.
The construction zone was two lanes wide with Jersey Walls on both sides. It was actually kind of fun.
Señor Mendoza thought the speed limit was in kilometers per hour.
Like in Mexico.
Speed kills. Both kinds.
What an a-hole! Lock that dude up for a long, long, long time.
lol
Sounds kind of (actually very) scary!
one foot on the brake one foot on the gas!!! :)
yeah but this was 3am most of the time coming home from Atlantic city with no one around for miles!!
I never know if the construction signs still count then!!
Three years ago one of my best friends was on his way to Lansing and entered a construction zone and slowed down to 15 MPH. He was rear ended by a pickup truck going the normal speed limit, never slowed down, and his wife was killed instantly..........
We went down through Wyoming to Nebraska on the way back and going through Wyoming at night I went three hours at 100mph and never saw another vehicle on the highway or even near it. Then I saw an auto on a road parallel to the Interstate and after that went another two hours without seeing any vehicles. Just about like having your own private highway except for the huge elk walking down the highway here and there.
Illegals with a license, if he killed an American family it would still be ok
Richard Bong was a WWII hero pilot from Wisconsin. He was killed testing fighter planes before the end of the war.
Nope. Late at night, no traffic and I was able to pull away from the maniac.
THAT’s cool :)
I would think my Challenger would be up to it but sometimes one can be fooled by how fast those trucks can go.
I rented a Challenger once. Definitely up to it
