HAMPTON FALLS, N.H. — A Hartford woman is facing a reckless driving charge after she was caught driving 127 mph in New Hampshire, according to New Hampshire State Police.
Around 8:30 a.m. Monday, a New Hampshire state trooper was monitoring traffic via the police department's traffic aircraft over Interstate 95.
There, the trooper saw a car driving at a recorded speed of 127 mph in the area of Hampton Falls, according to officials. The posted speed limit is 65 mph.
The trooper then reportedly contacted troopers on the ground and the car sped past the ground trooper's location, police said.
Police pulled the driver, 36-year-old LaToya Huff, over. When asked why she was speeding, she reportedly told troopers she "did not realize" she was driving that fast, according to police.
She was charged with reckless operation of a vehicle and is expected in court in April.
No injuries were reported.
