Fort Myers, FL – A 19-year-old driver was arrested early Sunday morning after being clocked at 106 mph on the Edison Bridge, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies identified the driver as Santiago Londono, who reportedly told authorities his mother was rushing him to take a friend home. Deputies used a radar device to confirm the vehicle’s speed, which exceeded the posted limit by more than double.
According to the sheriff’s office, Londono was reminded of Florida’s new “Super Speeder” law, which went into effect on July 1, 2025. The law makes driving more than 100 mph an arrestable offense, elevating the violation beyond a typical speeding citation.
Londono was taken into custody and booked for operating a vehicle over 100 mph. No injuries or crashes were reported during the traffic stop.
Authorities continue to urge drivers to slow down on local bridges and major corridors, noting that high-speed incidents on the Edison Bridge have increased in recent months.
