Darnel Anderson, 25 years of age, decided to have a race with Darrel Squiers. The race took place on the Long Island Expressway in Nassau County, New York. Both drivers were speeding in excess of 100 mph. Darnel Anderson had two children in the car with him while he was racing his friend. In court documents, he stated “I knew we were going way too fast.”
It was estimated that Darnel was proceeding at approximately 120 miles per hour when he was stopped by the police. He was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, being involved in a speed contest and numerous additional traffic violations. His racing buddy, Darrel Squiers of Bay Shore, was charged with driving while being intoxicated, being involved in a race on the Long Island Expressway, speeding and a variety of additional vehicle and traffic violations.
Individuals who want to see if they have the fastest car should race their cars on a race track. This can be done under conditions that are safe for everyone involved.
