First Sergeant Terrance Weems was driving eastbound on I-80/94 at approximately 8:10 a.m. when he saw Zachary M. Babich, 19, approach on a motorcycle at high speed. Babich passed Weems and proceeded to pass several vehicles on the shoulders and between lanes.

Babich told officers that he was traveling at such high speeds because he was on his way to training for work.
Babich was incarcerated and his motorcycle was impounded.
