A 56-year-old Markham resident has been charged with stunt driving after Lambton OPP stopped a vehicle on Highway 402 in Plympton-Wyoming.

OPP said an officer was conducting speed enforcement on July 4 at 11:43 p.m.

The driver was issued a 30-day driver's licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
