Brevard County, Florida – A traffic stop on Interstate 95 ended with a driver jailed after deputies say his speed exceeded 100 mph, raising safety concerns for one of the county’s busiest corridors.
According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy conducting traffic enforcement on I-95 observed a vehicle allegedly traveling at extreme speeds while monitoring traffic. Radar indicated the car reached 126 mph, deputies said, and continued past the patrol vehicle at approximately 118 mph as the deputy attempted to slow it.
The driver, identified by the sheriff’s office as Joshua Carrion, was stopped as he attempted to exit the interstate. Deputies said Carrion told the deputy he was driving fast because he needed to use the bathroom. The explanation did not affect the outcome of the stop, authorities said.
Carrion was charged with driving in excess of the speed limit by more than 100 mph, according to the sheriff’s office. He was taken to jail following the stop.
The sheriff’s office used the incident to emphasize ongoing traffic enforcement efforts along I-95, a major north–south route that carries daily commuter traffic and heavy weekend travel. Deputies said excessive speed significantly increases the risk of serious crashes for drivers and others on the roadway.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey stated that deputies will continue daily enforcement on I-95 to deter dangerous driving and improve safety throughout Brevard County. No injuries were reported in the incident, and no additional charges were announced.
For commuters and young drivers who regularly use I-95, deputies said the stop underscores how quickly high-speed driving can escalate into criminal charges and jail time.
