A Volusia County man was arrested Saturday after deputies said he tore through traffic at 105 mph with a 5-year-old child in the vehicle and passed near a school bus carrying children. Deputies pulled the car over and took the driver into custody, according to authorities. The station that first reported the stop did not release the suspect's name or report any injuries.
Deputies' account and local reporting
As reported by FOX 35 Orlando, deputies said the vehicle was clocked at about 105 mph with the 5-year-old inside and was seen driving near a school bus carrying children. The station posted a video and short write-up on May 30, 2026, citing deputies' description of a high-speed stop in heavy traffic. At the time of publication, FOX 35 Orlando had not identified the driver or listed any formal charges.
State law raises stakes for triple-digit stops
Florida's "Super Speeder" statute, which took effect July 1, 2025, makes drivers who exceed the posted limit by 50 mph or who run 100 mph or more potentially criminally liable, according to ClickOrlando. Under that law, a driver clocked at 105 mph could face criminal charges, fines, and possible jail time, depending on prosecutors' decisions and the specifics of the stop.
What's next
The FOX 35 Orlando coverage notes that the case remains under investigation and that deputies are expected to forward their reports to the state attorney's office for a charging decision. Anyone with information about the incident can contact the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, which lists non-emergency dispatch numbers and media contacts on its website.
