A Saugus street racer was arrested Wednesday after an SCV Sheriff’s Sergeant noticed the man driving almost twice the speed limit.
Around 8 p.m. Wednesday during a crime suppression operation led by the crime prevention unit, a Sergeant observed two vehicles street racing on Railroad Avenue and Bouquet Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“The sergeant observed a Dodge charger to be driving approximately 90 mph, well over the 50 mph speed limit,” Arriaga said.
The sergeant initiated a traffic stop on the Dodge charger, leading to the arrest of the driver for engaging in a speed contest and his vehicle impounded, according to Arriaga.
Alex Kim, 20, was booked into the SCV Sheriff’s Station on misdemeanor street racing and was released on citation.

A Charger and a young driver speeding with it. Shocking……
He should have his license taking away for 6 months or a year . He’s only had his license for 4yrs . Driving is a privilege , not a right . Idiots like this give us “ Car guys” bad names
A great place for the police to monitor for high-speed drivers is on Haskell Canyon Road, nearer to Copper Hill, especially on weekend nights. It’s a regular event. Would be much appreciated!
