LaSalle police charge 24-year-old U.S. driver with stunt driving

A 24-year-old from the United States was charged with stunt driving after speeding 65 km/h over the limit in LaSalle.

The vehicle was caught going 165 km/h in a 100 km/h zone Friday night during a joint forces operation targeting speeding and aggressive driving.

The driver was pulled over while in the eastbound lanes of the 401 near Howard Avenue on Friday at 5:30 p.m.

Police said the driver’s licence was immediately suspended for 30 days and his vehicle towed and impounded for 14 days.

He will have to appear in court for the charge and faces a minimum fine of $2,000.

Once his suspension expires, he will have to pay a $281 reinstatement fee to Service Ontario before he is legally able to drive again.

The driver’s suspension is valid in the U.S. as well.
