A driver from Sarnia is facing multiple charges after OPP clocked them allegedly speeding down Highway 402 at 190 km/h and then stopped for police in a live lane of traffic.
According to Middlesex County OPP, at 4:10 p.m. on Sept. 4, an OPP officer on general patrol observed a westbound vehicle on Highway 401 in Middlesex Centre travelling nearly double the speed limit.
Police initiated a traffic stop, at which time the vehicle stopped in a live lane of traffic on the highway.
The driver was clocked in at 190 km/h in a posted 110 km/h.
As a result, a 55-year-old driver from Sarnia has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act and Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act with:
- Drive motor vehicle - perform stunt
- Fail to stop on right for emergency vehicle
- Operate a motor vehicle without insurance
The accused was released from police custody and is expected to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date in relation to the charges.
OPP once again remind motorists to safely move their vehicle off the roadway if directed to by police.
