Troopers reported that the vehicles maneuvered aggressively through traffic, making multiple lane changes and using the shoulder to pass other vehicles. All three were eventually stopped by law enforcement.
The drivers—ages 39, 37, and 34—were arrested for racing on highways. All three vehicles were impounded for 30 days in accordance with Florida law.
