Holden Man Caught Speeding At 122 MPH Up I-495: State Police

HOPKINTON, MA — A Holden man who was allegedly speeding while on Interstate 495 North is too dangerous to drive, police said. Lutarco Castellanos, 22, was arrested Sunday morning for allegedly going 122 miles per hour in a 65-mph zone. An immediate threat notification has been filed with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, police said.

Castellanos was charged with operating negligently to endanger, marked lanes violation, failure to signal, and speeding. He is free on personal recognizance and is scheduled to be arraigned in Framingham District Court, according to the Massachusetts State Police.

At about 8:40 a.m. Sunday, a state trooper on I-495 North in Hopkinton observed a blue BMW traveling at an extremely high rate of speed. A speed gun near exit 21A recorded the vehicle's speed at 122 mph in the posted 65 mph zone.

Police say the vehicle was driven extremely aggressively and at an unreasonably high speed. Castellanos allegedly changed lanes without signaling and passed other cars recklessly, other drivers in significant danger.

Police attempted to catch up without alerting Castellanos out of fear that he would flee and drive even more recklessly. A trooper following the vehicle was able to get behind it near a construction zone and pull it over near exit 25 in Marlborough.
