YUMA, Arizona — Authorities with the Arizona Department of Public Safety conducted a speed enforcement detail in Yuma last Friday, March 14, 2025, resulting in 54 citations, according to a statement posted three hours ago on March 19, 2025. The operation by Highway Patrol District Four troopers targeted excessive speeding, with a Yuma speed enforcement effort uncovering significant violations.
Of the 54 citations, three were for criminal speeding—exceeding the posted limit by more than 20 mph. One driver faced arrest after troopers clocked him at 145 mph in a 65-mph zone, leading to his vehicle being impounded. The Yuma speed enforcement detail highlighted this extreme case, though no further details on the driver or exact location were provided.

No conflicting accounts emerged, but the arrested driver’s current status remains unclear. This follows regional trends—in March 2025, a driver hit 128 mph on I-19 in Amado, per 12news.com, showing stepped-up enforcement statewide
