   Mustang driver hits 150 mph outside Glen

   An unknown motorist hurtled west along Interstate 70 outside of   
   Glenwood Springs early Friday morning, driving a dark-colored,   
   older-model Mustang so fast that state troopers couldn’t get a   
   read on its license plate.   
      
   The driver was going 140 mph on a stretch of Interstate 70 about   
   10 miles west of Glenwood Springs where speed limits drop to   
   account for long, hazardous curves as the highway follows the   
   contours of the Colorado River.   
      
   Instead of slowing down after troopers turned on their sirens   
   and lights, the person driving the Mustang accelerated to 150   
   mph, Colorado State Patrol spokesman Trooper Gary Cooper said   
      
   “They tried to catch up. They weren’t doing it,” Cooper said.   
   “They couldn’t get close enough.”   
      
   Whoever it was going more than twice the speed limit at 12:30   
   a.m. was risking their life, so troopers decided not to risk   
   theirs and called off the chase, Cooper said.   
      
   “It’s extremely reckless, especially with people who haven’t   
   been trained to drive at those speeds,” Cooper said. “I’ve seen   
   a deer total a car before.”   
      
   Brakes get hot and tires can suddenly blow out at high speeds,   
   he said. Calling off the chase in this circumstance may have   
   saved the life of the driver, he said.   
      
   Fuck you and your training.
