The report says that a police officer informed the dispatch about the extremely speeding car, describing the BMW while asking for assistance. Another officer saw the car taking an exit ramp. When the two officials caught up with the vehicle at a stop, they pinned the BMW in to prevent the driver from escaping. The driver, named Milo Schneider, reportedly cooperated with the police officials during the investigation and admitted that he saw the speedometer reading clocking nearly 294 kmph at one point, which is the top speed of the luxury car.

The police officials reportedly said that they had never seen such high-speed driving anywhere by such a young driver. “When you’re going at that speed, you’re going to hit something, and someone’s going to die," said one police officer. The driver has been booked into county jail for reckless driving. High-speed driving in Oregon automatically faces a $1,100 fine and a suspended license for six months.
