(CUSTER COUNTY, Colo) — A 20-year-old motorcyclist was caught going well over 100 mph on Highway 96 in Custer County.
According to the Custer County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), deputies spotted the motorcyclist speeding dangerously, estimated at around 120 mph on Highway 96 near Bear Basin. As the motorcycle approached the town of Silver Cliff, radar reportedly recorded the rider going 98 mph.
Awaiting deputies safely pulled over the rider, identified as 20-year-old Ezra Trujillo of Pueblo, as he entered Silver Cliff.

When questioned, Trujillo told deputies he was “just having fun.”
“The Custer County Sheriff’s Office reminds all motorists that excessive speed and failure to comply with licensing and registration laws put everyone at risk,” CCSO said. “The safety of our community remains our top priority, and we appreciate the vigilance of our Deputies in protecting our roadways.”
