A late-night street race on Florida’s Interstate 75 took a dangerous turn when state troopers discovered two young toddlers strapped into the back seat of one of the racing vehicles. The incident, which occurred just after midnight on Sept. 5, has led to multiple arrests and felony child neglect charges.
According to Guessing Headlights and official reports from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), state troopers were patrolling a stretch of northbound Interstate 75 in Manatee County at approximately 12:04 a.m. when they observed a Dodge Charger and a Dodge Challenger traveling in tandem at speeds reaching 100 mph.
