Jul 25, 2025, 5:47 AM

A man crashed his car after going more than 130 miles per hour on I-90 across the floating bridge before going over a barrier and landing on the ramp.

Washington State Patrol (WSP) attempted to stop the driver, but ultimately didn’t chase him because it would be too dangerous. WSP found him just a few minutes later on the ramp to Rainier Avenue.

The driver avoided any serious injuries. He was arrested for eluding, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment.
