Florida Highway Patrol Impounds Exotic Vehicles

A report of stopped vehicles, traffic congestion, and a helicopter flying at a low altitude led Florida Highway Patrol State Troopers to discover five large sports utility vehicles blocking I-75 near mile marker 51 on Saturday, February 22nd, creating space for a green Porsche to perform stunts, or donuts, in the middle of the highway. Troopers also said they saw more than 25 high-performance cars speeding northbound.

The identity of the bright green Porsche Driver, described as “the camera guy,” has not been confirmed.

A blue two-door Ferrari, which had no license plate displayed, was clocked at speeds of 148 mph in a posted 70 mph zone on northbound I-75, FHP reported. 

Troopers arrested the driver, Andrew Mumtaz Tadras of New York, for racing on the highway and the vehicle was impounded. 

A non-registered blue Porsche, driven by Fathi Rashed, 39, was also impounded, and the driver arrested and given a misdemeanor citation. 

Although some details weren’t immediately available, FHP reported three arrests, including Rashed, Tadras, and Scott Redback; three impounded vehicles, including two Porsches and a Ferrari; and several citations.
