Chillicothe, OH – March 2025 – A reckless driving incident involving two diesel pickup trucks resulted in a traffic stop and citation after officers observed dangerous behavior on North Bridge Street.
According to the Chillicothe Police Department, an officer on patrol witnessed two trucks accelerating aggressively in the parking lot of 1075 N. Bridge St., a known hotspot for reckless driving. The vehicles produced excessive smoke and loud cracking noises before turning onto North Bridge Street, where one driver continued to accelerate erratically, causing his vehicle to sway back and forth on the roadway.
Police stopped the driver and issued a citation for reckless operation. The driver, whose identity was not released, admitted to intentionally causing his vehicle to slide, a violation classified as “willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.”
Authorities continue to monitor reckless driving hotspots in the city and remind drivers that dangerous stunts on public roads will not be tolerated.
