SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police say two men have been arrested after a high-speed race on Interstate 5 that topped 120 mph.
Police say a trooper on the freeway near Woodburn Sunday morning was passed by a fast-moving BMW that was followed by a Dodge Neon. Both cars took off after passing the unmarked car.
The trooper was able to stop the BMW at an exit near Wilsonville. State police say the driver, 25-year-old Valentin Khalaman, of Salem, was booked into the Marion County Jail for investigation of reckless driving and cited for speeding and racing.
The Neon continued was stopped about nine miles north by a Clackamas County deputy. That car’s driver, 21-year-old Nicholas Phillips, of Albany, also was booked for investigation of reckless driving and endangering another person, and cited for racing and speeding.
