According to New Hampshire State Police, two troopers were parked in their cruisers in a crossover on I-93 in Ashland when a 2016 Subaru Forrester with Massachusetts plates reportedly drove by them at “a very high rate of speed,” according to Sgt. Ron Taylor.

“(The speed was) estimated to be over 100 mph in a 70 mph zone,” Taylor noted. “So fast that the wind caused both cruisers to shake back and forth. (One trooper) pulled out in an attempt stop the vehicle. Upon closing in on the vehicle northbound, (the trooper) clocked the vehicle at speeds up to 116 mph in a 70 mph zone.”
