Jefferson County, CO – A Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy clocked a motorcycle speeding at 116 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone near South Kipling Parkway and West Bowles Avenue, authorities said Friday.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the Traffic Unit deputy stopped the rider after detecting the high-speed violation earlier this week. The driver was cited and is expected to appear before a judge to face charges related to reckless driving.
Officials said the case underscores growing safety concerns on suburban roads where high-speed incidents have been on the rise. “This kind of disregard for life and safety will be met with the gravity it deserves,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
No injuries or crashes were reported in the incident, but deputies noted that traveling at more than twice the posted speed limit poses extreme risks not only to the rider but also to nearby drivers and pedestrians.
Residents in the area have voiced concern about recurring speeding issues along Kipling and Bowles, a corridor known for heavy commuter traffic and limited visibility during peak hours.
