New Hampshire Police Arrest Man For Driving 161 MPH: New Hampshire State Police have arrested a man they say was driving 91 mph above the speed limit on I-93 near Ashland, where the posted speed limit is 70. A trooper clocked the orange sports car at 161 mph but was “unable to pursue” the vehicle because of how fast it was going. How did they catch Alejandro Zapata-Rebello of Danbury, Connecticut? He got stuck in traffic about a half-hour north of Ashland. He’s been charged with two counts of reckless driving and one count of disobeying an officer.
