Two Drivers Arrested for Racing, Speeds Reach Over 100 MPH

Two men were arrested early Sunday morning for racing on northbound Highway 101 and Highway 37 at speeds that reached more than 100 miles an hour.

The drivers, ages 18 and 20, were spotted near San Pedro Road around 2:30am. California Highway Patrol officers followed them, but did not turn on their sirens. Instead officers alerted other units to be on a lookout for the two vehicles as they headed into Marin County.

But instead of continuing on northbound Highway 101, the two cars exited onto Highway 37, prompting CHP to put out a traffic break that brought the drivers to a stop.

Inside one of the cars, officers found marijuana and ecstasy, while the other was booked for reckless driving and excessive speed.
