Twin Falls, ID – Idaho State Police troopers clocked a driver traveling at 100 mph in Twin Falls on Halloween night, warning that such speeds pose deadly risks on a night filled with pedestrians, trick-or-treaters, and holiday traffic.
According to Idaho State Police, the incident occurred late Thursday evening, October 31, during stepped-up patrols across the Twin Falls area. The department shared the reminder on social media with the message: “Clocked at 100 mph — a scary sight on Halloween night.”
Troopers said the Halloween enforcement detail is part of an ongoing statewide initiative to reduce fatal crashes during high-traffic holidays. Officers are increasing patrols in key corridors throughout southern Idaho, including U.S. Highway 93 and Interstate 84.
Police are urging drivers to slow down, remain alert for children and pedestrians, and avoid distractions behind the wheel. “We’re out to make sure everyone gets home safe,” Idaho State Police wrote, using the hashtag #DriveSafeIdaho.
Authorities say additional patrols will continue through the weekend as Halloween events and late-night gatherings wrap up across the region.
