DOUGLAS COUNTY—Law enforcement across Kansas continue to stop drivers traveling far above the legal speed limit.

On Sunday, KHP Trooper Lauren Braun was on patrol in Douglas County when she saw a white SUV driving at high speeds in her rearview mirror, according to a social media report from the KHP.

She stopped the vehicle for 111mph in a posted 75 mph zone. The driver was on their way to church and had a small child in the vehicle with them.

"This is a good reminder to make sure that you are driving safe at all times, no matter where you are going. The youngest travelers in Kansas are depending on drivers to make sure they arrive alive to all of their destinations."
