A motor vehicle stop was initiated, and the vehicle was stopped on Old Mill Road where the driver acknowledged his reckless speed.
According to the Criminal Information Summary provided to media, the driver was, Guy Henry Landers, 19 of Upland Drive in Greenwich.

Due to the excessive speed of 96 MPH in a 30 MPH zone, Landers was placed under arrest for Reckless Driving.
Mr. Landers was charged with the following:
* C.G.S. 14-222 – Reckless Driving (Operating >85 MPH)
He was able to post his bond and was released with a court appearance scheduled at Stamford Superior Court.
The Greenwich Police Department reminds all motorists that speeding is not a minor traffic infraction when it endangers the public. In Connecticut, traveling more than 85 MPH constitutes Reckless Driving and is a criminal offense.
Speed limits are enforced not only for the safety of the driver, but also for the protection of residents, pedestrians, and other motorists. Driving 96 MPH in a 30 MPH residential zone puts lives at serious risk.
The Greenwich Police Department will continue proactive speed enforcement to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
