For many, those highway signs that read 'speed limit enforced by aircraft' can prompt a chuckle or an eye-roll of disbelief, but it does happen. Police check for speeders by using planes.
MEDINA COUNTY, Ohio — For many, those highway signs that read"speed limit enforced by aircraft" can prompt a chuckle or an eye-roll of disbelief.
"Speed plays a huge role in the severity of crashes," Sgt. Bridget Matt said."It can make the difference between a minor injury crash and a fatal crash. Just a few miles per hour can be the difference."Trooper Milan Milosevic pilots the plane over a specified stretch of highway, where white marks can be found on the road.
When a trooper in their patrol car approaches an alleged speeding vehicle, Trooper Milosevic observes and confirms that troopers are pulling over the correct car. Behind alcohol, drugs, age and a lack of seatbelt-wearing, speed remains one of the leading causes of traffic deaths in Ohio, according to data compiled by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The crash report detailed that 22-year-old Logan Townsley was traveling at 140 mph on a 50 mph road when he collided with Eskins' Ford Focus.
