LYNNWOOD, Wash. - Two drivers were arrested early Tuesday morning after they allegedly sped by a state trooper at 141 miles per hour.

State patrol spokesman Kirk Rudeen said a trooper was on Interstate 5 when a BMW 330i and a Honda Accord sped by him in the northbound lanes near the 44th Street exit.

The trooper clocked the BMW at 141 mph, Rudeen said. The Honda was behind the BMW and was keeping pace.

The trooper spotted both cars pulled over near the I-5 interchange with I-405. Rudeen said the cars stopped to let one of the BMW passengers ride in the Honda.

Both drivers, a 22-year-old man and an 18-year-old man, were arrested and booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of reckless driving and reckless endangerment.
