28-year-old Withee man dies in one-vehicle crash June 1 in Taylor County
LITTLE BLACK − A 28-year-old Withee man is dead following a one-vehicle crash Sunday morning in Taylor County. The crash was reported about 6:15 a.m. June 1 on Gibson Drive, north of Stetson Avenue, in the town of Little Black, about 3 miles south of Medford. A caller reported a severely injured man who appeared to have been ejected from a vehicle, according to a news release from the Taylor County Sheriff's Office. Taylor County deputies, along with Medford EMS, Stetsonville First Responders and Stetsonville Fire Department responded to the crash and found a black Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck overturned onto its roof with extensive damage, according to the release. It was in the east ditch of Gibson Drive. A man was located outside of the vehicle and determined to be dead. The deceased man was identified as Eric James Doberstein, 28, of Withee. Doberstein was the driver and only occupant of the vehicle. The preliminary investigation found the Dodge truck was traveling north on Gibson Drive at a high rate of speed and veered into the east ditch, struck a driveway embankment and became airborne. The vehicle then landed in a field where it overturned and landed on its top, according to the release. The Taylor County Sheriff's Office said based on its preliminary investigation, it appears speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. The incident is still being investigated.

California Police Hit Speeding Porsches With 34 Tickets In One Stop
Read the full story on The Auto Wire California Highway Patrol sure is busy these days, with an officer stopping two speeding Porsches, giving out 34 tickets between them. That might sound excessive, but CHP was so proud of what its officer did, the law enforcement agency posted pictures on its social media to CHP, the two Porsche 911s were speeding through a construction zone in Santa Curz County. We don't know how fast they were going because CHP apparently didn't find that relevant to post, but it might help us understand how two drivers could get 34 citations in a single traffic stop. However, if you zoom in on the pile of tickets, you can see the top one says at least one of the Porsches was going 78 mph in a 55 mph zone. That's not criminal in California. For speeding to turn into a felony, the driver needs to be doing over 100 mph or doubling the posted speed limit. But the CHP officer found plenty of other violations to hit both Porsche drivers with. We're also a little surprised if CHP is handing out that many tickets the cars weren't seized. After all, citations are a great source of revenue for law enforcement, but let's be honest, impounding vehicles is an even more lucrative way to shake down the citizenry. In a separate incident a few days before, CHP once again on Highway 1 in Santa Cruz County nailed five Corvettes at once for speeding. At least one of them was going over 65 mph in a 55 mph zone. The law enforcement agency was very proud of this other multi-vehicle stop. If you're living in or traveling through Santa Cruz County, just beware CHP is patrolling Highway 1 heavily and is eager to hand out citations.

Ottawa driver facing thousands in fines for racing at 194 km/h on Hwy. 417
An Ottawa G2 driver clocked 194 km/h on Highway 417 while racing another vehicle on Friday, OPP say. (OPP/X) An Ottawa driver will face thousands of dollars in fines for allegedly racing nearly 100 km/h over the speed limit on Highway 417. Ontario Provincial Police officers stopped the vehicle after it was observed racing another vehicle on Friday evening. The car was found to be going up to 194 km/h on the highway where the speed limit is 100 km/h, police say. Officers also found the driver was operating a vehicle on a suspended G2 novice driver's licence. Police charged the driver with dangerous operation and two counts of stunt driving, one for excessive speed and one for racing. They will also face charges for driving while suspended and the improper use of an HOV lane. 'Not only does the driver face several thousand dollars in fines, but they also face a criminal record upon conviction,' OPP said in a post on X. Earlier on Friday, a Kitchener, Ont. driver was also charged for stunt driving for going 208 km/h on Highway 416 in Ottawa. Stunt driving charges come with an immediate 30-day driver's licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impound. Drivers face possible fines of up to $10,000, a jail sentence of six months, six demerit points and a minimum one-year driving suspension upon conviction.
