NextImg:USPS worker busted speeding over 100 mph in work van in race against Mustang: ‘Didn’t realize I was going that fast’

Fast & Furious: Express Shipping.

A United States Postal Service employee is accused of driving over 100 mph in her work van as she drag-raced a Mustang sports car down an Ohio road last month, newly released bodycam footage shows.

The footage shows a Sandusky County police officer approach the USPS van after the driver, Drew Brown, 28, was caught racing through a 60 mph zone on April 21, according to 13 ABC.

“Is there a reason you’re going over 100?” the bewildered deputy asks Brown.

“I didn’t realize I was going that fast,” she tells the officer nonchalantly.

“Yeah. I mean, that Mustang took off. He caught my attention, and then you blew by him, and I was pacing you at like 105,” the officer replies.

The deputy then asks her why she “took off” so fast.

“I mean, I shouldn’t have,” Brown said.

The USPS employee denied knowing the driver behind the Mustang’s wheel while the officer slammed Brown for “driving around, acting ridiculous on I-90.”

The deputy then tells Brown he was across from them when they both appeared to take off at a stoplight.

“When I saw him take off, I go, ‘You have my attention.’ And then you went by, I’m like, ‘Oh, you gotta be kidding me,’” he tells Brown.

The officer tells Brown that the Mustang driver saw him coming up from behind, did the “right thing” and started to slow down, but the worker continued to speed off.

The driver was pulled over about five miles northwest of Fremont.

Court records show that the USPS van did not have plates when Brown was driving it at a high rate and that she did appear to be racing the Mustang, according to the outlet.

Brown was able to waive the case, and it is now closed, according to the records.

She was, however, made to pay a $50 fine for a traffic violation and was given a verbal warning for racing.

Spokesperson Naddia Dhalai confirmed that Brown was a USPS employee, and the matter is being handled internally.

“It is under investigation and as a matter of policy, we are unable to comment further on a specific individual personnel matter,” Dhalai said in a statement provided to the outlet.

Typically, those convicted of street racing in Ohio can expect to be slapped with a first-degree misdemeanor for a first offense, according to state law.

If guilty, the driver may be punished by a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Additionally, the vehicle used to race can be seized, and the driver’s license can be suspended for 30 days to three years.
