Maine Teen Accused Of Driving 125 MPH While Under The Influence On I-95 And Crashing On Route 1
A teen from Maine is facing several charges after being accused of driving 125 mph while under the influence.
Michael A. Wozny, 18, of Westbrook, ME, was arrested on April 29, 2025 on three felony counts of reckless conduct, two counts of disobeying an officer, three counts of aggravated driving under the influence of drugs or liquor, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, operating without a valid license, criminal mischief, and reckless operation charges as well as a transportation of alcohol by a minor violation.
Around 1:30 a.m. on the day in question, a state trooper patrolling Interstate 95 in Greenland closed the driver of a 2017 Subaru Legacy traveling at 125 mph in the 65-mph zone. The trooper coordinated with others to stop the vehicle but the driver continued to drive at a high rate of speed, Michal Sventek, a public information officer for state police, said.
“The driver then left Interstate 95 northbound via Exit 5 and continued to the Portsmouth Traffic Circle, where the Subaru crashed into multiple traffic signs,” he said. “The driver then attempted to continue for a short distance before stopping on the Route 1 Bypass North, where troopers and members of the Portsmouth Police Department detained all occupants of the Subaru.”
Wozny was arrested while multiple passengers, all juveniles, were identified. Wozny was accused of giving troopers a false identification. After they were able to identify him, they found he was not licensed.
Wozny was taken to a local hospital and was cleared. Two passengers were treated for minor injuries. All the juveniles were released to parents or guardians.
Along with police, Portsmouth fire and rescue teams also assisted state police.
All aspects of the incident remain under investigation. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Trooper Vetter at patrick.r.vetter@dos.nh.gov.
