SEE IT: Dashcam shows Florida trooper chasing alleged street takeover suspect at 140 mph

Newly released Florida Highway Patrol dashcam video captured a state trooper racing toward a street takeover that had shut down Interstate 75 before weaving through hundreds of stopped vehicles and launching a high-speed pursuit that authorities said reached 140 mph.

The footage began with the trooper racing down the interstate with emergency lights flashing and sirens blaring before encountering a sea of stopped vehicles blocking all northbound lanes near mile marker 266 in Thonotosassa around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

As the patrol vehicle reached the scene, people could be seen running between vehicles while others scrambled back behind the wheel.

Lugo was arrested and charged with aggravated fleeing to elude and participating in a street takeover, both felony offenses, authorities said.

The I-75 incident marked the latest in a series of takeover-related events that have drawn increased attention from Florida law enforcement this summer.

GOT A TIP?

In June, the St. Augustine Beach Police Department said it thwarted a planned “teen takeover” before it began after investigators used electronic monitoring to identify plans circulating online.

Earlier this year, Orlando police also released video showing hundreds of riders on e-bikes swarming downtown streets, running red lights, blocking traffic and delaying an ambulance. Officers said the group created a significant public safety hazard and vowed to continue cracking down on similar incidents.
