19-year-old driver caught going a staggering 132mph — then blames it on being late for a job interview
A teenage driver was caught swerving through traffic on a Connecticut highway at a staggering 132 mph — blaming it on being late for a job interview, according to police who had to give up the chase. Azmir Djurkovic, 19, was clocked hitting the crazy speed in a family member's Mercedes E300 on the I-91 south in Hartford just before 9 a.m. Wednesday, Connecticut State Police said. When a Trooper gave chase with lights and sirens, the speeding driver 'failed to stop and accelerated away while making unsafe lane changes and weaving in and out of traffic,' police said. Azmir Djurkovic allegedly told cops he was speeding at 132 mph because he was running late to a job interview. Connecticut State Police 'Due to the hazard posed to the public, the Trooper terminated attempts to stop the eluding vehicle,' the department said. When police contacted the car's owner, they told them the teen was behind the wheel — and Djurkovic told a Trooper who called that he 'did not stop because he was late for a job interview.' It was unclear if he made the interview or landed the job. Djurkovic surrendered to police later that day and was charged with a slew of traffic offenses, including reckless driving, engaging police in a pursuit and reckless endangerment in the first degree. He was held on a $2,500 bond and will be arraigned in court on June 17th, records indicate.

Teen driving Mercedes 132 mph told trooper he was late for job interview
A 19-year-old man from Connecticut who was caught driving at 132 mph told officials he didn't stop for troopers because he was running late to a job interview, police said this week. State troopers were conducting motor vehicle enforcement on Interstate 91 in the town of Cromwell when they spotted a Mercedes E300 traveling "faster than the flow of traffic," Connecticut State Police said in a press release. A speed radar confirmed the vehicle was driving 132 mph. When a trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop with lights and sirens, the driver sped away and wove in and out of traffic while "making unsafe lane changes." However, due to the hazard posed to traffic, the trooper stopped trying to follow the vehicle. State police said they contacted the vehicle's registered owner, who said a family member — later identified as 19-year-old Azmir Djurkovic — was driving the car at the time of the incident. "Troopers obtained a phone number for Djurkovic, who admitted to driving and stated he did not stop because he was late for a job interview," state police said. Djurkovic was later arrested and is facing multiple charges, including reckless driving, engaging police in a pursuit and reckless endangerment. He was released on a bond and is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
