Dozens of drivers stopped after New Hampshire State Police conduct traffic enforcement
A traffic enforcement initiative by the New Hampshire State Police on Interstate 95 resulted in 35 drivers being stopped for excessive speeding, including two individuals driving over 120 mph. The enforcement operation took place on Sunday morning and was conducted by the NHSP Special Enforcement Unit and Troop A barracks. Over a span of three hours, troopers observed 50 motor vehicle violations, with 30 drivers traveling at speeds of 90 mph or more, and five drivers exceeding 100 mph. Among those stopped was Chloe G. Marsh, 19, from Waterboro, Maine, who was caught driving a 2022 Honda Accord at 120 mph. Marsh had two teenage passengers in the vehicle and was charged with reckless operation, endangering the welfare of a child, and driving an unregistered vehicle. She is scheduled to appear in Hampton District Court on October 16. Another driver, Carlos Yariel Perez, 20, from Salem, Massachusetts, was stopped for driving a 2016 Acura at 124 mph. Perez had a 13-month-old child in the car and was charged with reckless operation, endangering the welfare of a child, resisting arrest, and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. He is also scheduled to appear in court on October 16. The penalties for driving at excessive speeds in New Hampshire are significant. Driving at 86 mph or greater can result in a $434 fine and a potential 30-day license suspension. Reckless driving at 100 mph or more carries a minimum fine of $620 and a 60-day license suspension, with penalties set to increase in 2026. The NHSP SEU utilizes advanced technology, including aircraft, to monitor and enforce traffic laws effectively. Their goal is to promote highway safety and reduce crashes on New Hampshire roads. 'As the summer winds down, Troopers ask drivers to slow down, put distractions away and focus on driving,' New Hampshire State Police wrote. 'They want everyone to get to their destination safely. Troopers will continue to work with their partners at the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety to conduct focused traffic enforcement to reduce speeds, detect impaired driving, prevent serious crashes and ensure the safety of the residents and visitors to the Granite State.'

Failed Towing Attempt Causes Unoccupied Car To Crash Into Restaurant Twice
It takes a lot of skill, or lack thereof, to crash a car you're not even driving. In this case, a towing attempt gone horribly wrong resulted in the vehicle intended to be towed crashing into a restaurant not just once, but twice. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office not only tells us how it all went down, but it shared security camera footage that shows the whole thing. On July 30, a maroon Mercury Montego parked in front of AutoZone in University Place, Washington. The driver left it there overnight, telling employees that he would be back to tow it away since it wasn't running well. He returned at 3:45 a.m. in a white Honda Pilot with a tow dolly to follow through on his promise. It wasn't until 5:15 that the driver began pulling the car not on the dolly, but using a tow rope, which snapped before he even got out of the lot. He tried to secure the car again, but failed epically at 5:50 when the car rolled back across the lot and crashed into the Pho and Teriyaki restaurant next to the AutoZone. The man made a valiant effort to stop the car from the outside using muscles and sheer force of will, but to no avail. He jumped away from the car right before the crash and appeared to avoid injury. That would be bad enough, but things got much worse. Read more: These Are The Dumbest Car Crashes You've Ever Seen But Wait, There's More The Honda Pilot then pulled up in front of the restaurant, and the driver attached the tow rope once again. He succeeded in pulling the car to the other side of the lot, only for it to roll back across the lot and crash into the restaurant a second time. Once again, he pulled it away, only for the Montego to get caught up along a retaining wall and curb thanks to an amazingly long tow rope, leaving him unable to control it. At this point, he abandoned the car, which was now likely damaged beyond any repair you could buy at AutoZone, and left the scene. There are so many questions here. Why didn't he use the dolly he was towing behind the Pilot? Why did he continue to trust the tow rope that kept failing with ever more disastrous results? Why did he use such a long tow rope? Why didn't the woman who got out of the Pilot during the third attempt help at all? Also, kudos to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office for using the perfect soundtrack for this video: "Yakety Sax," better known as the Benny Hill theme. They are investigating this fiasco as a hit-and-run, which is appropriate, and amazing considering the car that hit the restaurant didn't even have a driver. This joins our list of the dumbest car crashes we've ever seen. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...
