Oklahoma Man's Creative Excuse For Driving 120 MPH In Minnesota

It’s the excuse that will never fade quietly into the night: "I was going 50 mph over the speed limit because I had to go to the bathroom." But the Minnesota State Patrol didn't buy it.

A trooper stopped a vehicle on Feb. 12 on Interstate 90 near the Rushmore exit that was clocked at 120 mph in a 70 mph zone. The driver, a 53-year-old man from Oklahoma staying in Worthington, said he and his passenger were in a hurry to get to a bathroom, according to authorities.

"There is no excuse for speeding," the state patrol said. "Take care of business before you hit the road."
