A Massachusetts man was arrested Friday morning for driving 128 mph on Interstate 93 in Salem, New Hampshire.
New Hampshire State Police said they were using their aircraft to conduct traffic enforcement on I-93 in Salem in response to a recent increase in speeding and hazardous driving in the area. During their operation, they stopped 56 vehicles, including 21 for driving over 90 mph and seven for going over 100 mph, along with other violations.
