SEATTLE — Washington State Patrol says they tried to stop a driver who was going more than 130 miles per hour Friday – but he didn’t get very far.
Troopers spotted the driver heading westbound on I-90 across the floating bridge.
They didn’t chase him because it would be too dangerous, but they found him a short time later on the ramp to Rainier Avenue.
Troopers say his car went over the barrier and landed on the South Rainier to the eastbound I-90 ramp.
The driver walked away without any serious injuries.
He was arrested for eluding, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment.
