Driver in Missouri caught speeding, playing video games behind the wheel: Police
Police in Missouri say a driver was caught speeding at more than 100 mph and playing video games while behind the wheel.
According to the Claycomo Police Department, the driver was pulled over on Interstate 35 in Clay County, Missouri. The county encompasses parts of northwestern Kansas City.
Authorities did not release the name or age of the man involved, but did say the driver was going at a speed of 107 mph. Police said he also had a suspended license.
“The driver was playing a video game, yes, a video game while driving 107mph…. On a suspended license. Apparently, he was so distracted he didn’t see our motor officer in the lane ahead of him,” police said on Facebook.
Police said charges are pending for the unidentified driver with a court date also pending.
