Authorities in North Carolina arrested two women who were allegedly flying down a highway at speeds upward of 132 mph while racing each other — one in an Audi, the other behind the wheel of a Mercedes — when they obliterated a motorcycle, killing the teen driver.

Julia Henderson, 22, and Estrella Gutierrez-Perez, 21, are charged with second-degree murder and spontaneous speed competition in the death of 17-year-old Alex Jaden Rodriguez.

According to probable cause arrest affidavits, Henderson and Gutierrez-Perez around 7:30 p.m. July 25 were racing down southbound Interstate 85 near Charlotte. Henderson allegedly reached speeds of 132 mph in her Audi. Gutierrez-Perez was going upward of 120 mph in her Mercedes, per cops.

The speed limit was 60 mph.

The two vehicles collided with Alex, ejecting him from the motorcycle, per cops. Gutierrez-Perez's Mercedes overturned and ended up on its roof. The motorcycle was pinned under the Audi, according to troopers with North Carolina Highway Patrol.

Troopers said Alex was going the speed limit. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A driver in a fourth vehicle involved in the crash suffered minor injuries.

Henderson was arrested on Thursday and is at the Mecklenburg County Jail without bond. Gutierrez-Perez was arrested Sunday evening. She's at the Alamance County Jail without bond, records show. Their next court dates were not immediately listed.

Alex's obituary describes him as a "dedicated student" who graduated a year early from high school.

"Known for his love of working on small engines and his ability to fix anything with a motor, Alex also cherished time spent hunting, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. His warm nature meant he never met a stranger, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he encountered."
