In Memoriam:
On April 17, 1993, Officer John N. McVeigh, Jr. was responding to an injury collision on SR-198 in the area of King City when he lost control of his patrol car as it rounded a curve. McVeigh's patrol car spun into the opposing lane of traffic where it was struck broadside by an oncoming pick-up. Although McVeigh was securely belted in his seat and his air bag deployed, the force of the impact killed the 38-year-old officer instantly.
Officer McVeigh was a 13-year veteran of the CHP and a 1992 King City Officer of the Year.

Today, officers from the California Highway Patrol – King City Area responded to multiple calls from concerned motorists reporting a group of high-end luxury vehicles driving recklessly and at high speeds through the area.

Officers quickly located the vehicles and conducted enforcement stops for speed and equipment violations. Several citations were issued as a result of the enforcement action.

While high-performance vehicles may be built for speed, our public roadways are not racetracks. Reckless driving endangers everyone on the road — families, commuters, and fellow motorists. The California Highway Patrol has zero tolerance for dangerous driving behaviors.

We appreciate the members of the public who called in to report this dangerous activity. Your partnership helps us keep our roadways safe.

Drive responsibly. Slow down. Arrive alive.
