Bonita Springs, FL – A Bonita Springs woman was taken into custody Wednesday night after deputies said she was allegedly driving at dangerously high speeds while impaired along a Lee County roadway.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened Wednesday night when deputies reportedly observed a vehicle traveling 123 miles per hour in a 41 mph zone in Bonita Springs. Authorities identified the driver as Siria Lopez, who was pulled over during the traffic stop.
Deputies said Lopez allegedly admitted to speeding and told authorities, “It’s a Supra, that’s why,” when asked about her speed. Investigators reported that Lopez was allegedly driving well over 100 mph at the time of the stop, raising serious safety concerns for other motorists.
Authorities further stated Lopez allegedly showed signs of impairment. She later recorded a blood alcohol content of 0.23, nearly three times the legal limit, according to deputies. Officials said the combination of high speed and alleged impairment created a dangerous situation on the roadway.
Lopez was arrested and charged with driving over 100 mph and DUI. She was also cited for allegedly careless and aggressive driving, a modified exhaust, and an improper turn signal, authorities said.
According to investigators, this was not the first incident involving the same vehicle. In December 2024, a passenger in the same car was cited for allegedly driving 109 mph on the same roadway.
The investigation remains ongoing as officials continue to stress safe driving practices across Lee County.
