New Jersey Man Clocked At 142 MPH, Arrested: NHSP Roundup

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire State Police Enforcement Unit arrested a New Jersey man on a reckless driving charge after accusing him of driving 142 mph on I-95 South on Saturday. State police monitoring traffic from the sky at just after 8 a.m. saw a Jeep Grand Cherokee "traveling at an extremely high rate of speed" and "clocked it at 142 mph in a posted 65 mph speed zone," according to Lt. Sean Haggerty of the NHSP. Troopers on the ground were radioed and the vehicle was stopped in Greenland.

The driver – Eric Joseph, 51, of Short Hills, NJ – was asked why he was traveling at that speed.

"Joseph stated that he was traveling home to New Jersey," Haggerty said.

Joseph is due in Portsmouth Circuit Court on Sept. 23, 2019.
