Bedford Man Clocked Driving 108 mph Troopers Say

A man from Bedford, Massachusetts, is facing several charges after being accused of driving more than 100 mph on Interstate 93 in Londonderry.

Around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, a trooper attempted to stop a driver in a 2020 Chevrolet Trax on the northbound side of the highway after being clocked at speeds of as high as 108 mph. The driver, Tyler Dumont, a public information officer for the New Hampshire State Police, said, refused a stop. The trooper pursued the vehicle into Manchester and onto I-293 while other troopers deployed stop sticks just north of Exit 7.

“The stop sticks successfully deflated two tires and the vehicle stopped at Mile Marker 9.2 on the northbound side of I-293 in Manchester,” Dumont said.

The driver was identified as Jonathen Petrie, 32, of Bedford, MA, and he was arrested and charged with reckless conduct, disobeying an officer, and resisting arrest or detention charges as well as motor vehicle violations. He is due in Manchester District Court at a later date.

Anyone with information about this incident was asked to contact Trooper Guilbeault at 603-223-4381 or alexander.r.guilbeault@dos.nh.gov.

The driver had serious but non-life-threatening injuries. A passenger, who was under 18, was not hurt, according to a report.

Hampton fire and rescue teams arrived and extinguished the fire.
