An Idaho man was arrested Sunday after a pursuit in which he was clocked at 132 mph in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park.
Police radar clocked the motorist at 108 mph near the Teton Point Turnout, according to the Jackson Hole News and Guide. Police followed with lights flashing and sirens blaring, hoping the man would pull over.
But the motorist stepped on the gas and attained a speed of 132 mph while southbound near Moose Junction. (The maximum daytime speed limit on Highway 89/26/191 is 55 mph.)
Park spokesman CJ Adams told the News and Guide that the motorist got stuck in traffic at the Gros Ventre Roundabout and pulled over with other motorists who had pulled over to make way for police.

If that was an attempt to blend in and evade capture, it didn’t work.
The man, who was driving a Dodge truck, was arrested and cited for multiple offenses, including driving while under the influence, open container, driving with a suspended license, and trying to escape officers.
The man was due to appear in court Tuesday, Adams said.
