LEHI — Another driver has been arrested in Utah County for allegedly going over 130 mph on the freeway.

A 28-year-old American Fork man was driving a Dodge Challenger on I-15 early Sunday when he passed a Utah Highway Patrol trooper.

"When the vehicle passed me, I measured the speed with my stationary front radar at 133 mph in a 70-mph zone," the trooper wrote in a police booking affidavit.

The vehicle got off the freeway in Lehi and turned onto the Timpanogos Highway before pulling over. The driver was arrested for investigation of reckless driving and exhibition driving on the freeway.

In a separate incident, a 19-year-old Lehi man was arrested after allegedly going 133 mph on I-15 last month.
