    Cape Coral, FL - Florida Highway Patrol arrested two men for racing on Veterans Memorial Parkway in Cape Coral at speeds reaching over 100 mph.

    The street racing incident on Veterans Memorial Parkway early Sunday morning landed two men behind bars.

    Florida Highway Patrol troopers clocked a white Dodge Challenger and a red Mercedes racing side-by-side westbound on the parkway just past midnight.

    The vehicles reportedly reached speeds exceeding 105 mph, far exceeding the posted 50 mph speed limit.

    Troopers swiftly stopped both vehicles and apprehended the drivers.

    28-year-old Sebastian Gonzalez and 19-year-old Christian Yordan Vera Toirax now face charges of racing and reckless driving.
