The OPP is reminding motorists that aggressive driving is dangerous and a leading cause of fatal collisions on OPP-patrolled roads.
On August 4, 2024, just before 9:30 a.m., members of the Killaloe Detachment conducted a traffic stop on a passenger car speeding on 60 Highway in the Township of Madawaska Valley. The 54-year-old driver from Toronto was clocked at 167 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.
Following the investigation, the driver was charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle while Performing a Stunt – Speeding, contrary to the Highway Traffic Act. The driver received a summons to appear in court at the Ontario Court of Justice in Pembroke. The vehicle was towed and impounded for fourteen days, and the driver’s licence was seized and suspended for thirty days.
