One of Prince’s golden oldies summed up the case perfectly: “Little red Corvette/Baby, you’re much too fast, yes you are.”
As in, 178 miles per hour fast, on a county road in northern Minnesota last month.
The driver of the red Corvette, who was not identified, was the fastest to be busted by law enforcement officials during a statewide sweep against speeders conducted by Minnesota’s law enforcement agencies throughout July.
“He wasn’t actually clocked, but the passenger reported the speed—my guess is she was pretty freaked out,” said Nathan Bowie, a Department of Public Safety spokesman.
