On a recent Wednesday night in Bonita Springs, deputies say a Toyota Supra came flying down U.S. 41 at 123 mph, turning a stretch of highway into a racetrack and landing its driver in handcuffs. The woman behind the wheel, identified as 25-year-old Siria Lopez, allegedly told deputies she thought it was “alright to go fast” because of the car, then wound up arrested on DUI and criminal speeding charges under Florida's super-speeder law. She later posted a $3,500 bond after the traffic stop, which was recorded on body-worn cameras as deputies ordered everyone out of the car.

The Stop On U.S. 41

Deputies reported clocking the red Supra at 123 mph on U.S. 41 in Bonita Springs before pulling it over. In the body-camera footage, the driver can be heard trying to explain herself, saying, “Honestly, it's just cause he has a Supra, and then I thought it was alright to go fast and everything.” That back-and-forth on the roadside was detailed by KSDK.

Charges And Booking

Lee County booking records list Lopez, 25, as facing charges of driving over 100 mph and DUI after the stop, with a breath test reportedly showing a blood-alcohol content of 0.23, nearly three times the legal limit. She was also cited for careless or aggressive driving, having a modified exhaust and using an improper turn signal, then posted a $3,500 bond later that night. Those details were reported by Florida Today.

Same Car Flagged Before

According to the sheriff's office, the same red Supra had already drawn attention in December 2024, when a passenger was cited after being clocked at 109 mph on the same stretch of U.S. 41. The repeat appearance suggests the car has seen more than one high-speed run along that roadway. That earlier citation and the new stop were summarized by Road & Track.

Why It Matters

Florida's super-speeder law, which took effect in 2025, makes it a criminal offense to drive 50 mph over the posted speed limit, or to operate a vehicle at 100 mph or more in a dangerous manner. Instead of a routine civil ticket, drivers can now face jail time, fines and mandatory court appearances. That shift in how extreme speeding is handled was outlined in a roundup of new Florida laws by WKMG/ClickOrlando.

What Happens Next

Lopez is expected to appear in court on the super-speeder and DUI charges, and the sheriff's office says the investigation is still open. She bonded out the same night of the arrest, and local reporting notes that anyone with information about the Supra's prior high-speed runs is being asked to contact Lee County investigators, according to Florida Today.
