The plane was likely either almost to take-off, or had JUST landed, still going really fast. Cars on the freeway usually don't go above 80-ish (on average), but planes go WAY fast (comparatively).
Weird plane on Google Maps

Nope. It's not on a runway, it's on a taxiway. I hope it wasn't taking off on a taxiway. I could well have been going pretty slowly, just there was a delay between when the two pictures were taken.
Can you take a screenshot of it? My phone opens it to the roadway outside the airport, and there are lots of planes.

Updated the first post.
Coincidentally, that video is of a Delta 757, the same operator and model as the one in the satellite photo.
