Motorist nabbed speeding 116km/h in posted 60 zone slapped with stunt driving charge: OPP
Nottawasaga OPP says a vehicle caught speeding more than 50 kilometres per hour over the posted 60 limit in Clearview Township resulted in serious penalties for the driver.
According to a social media post by OPP, the traffic stop was conducted on Sideroad 15 north of Highway 9 after the officer's radar device clocked the SUV speeding 116 km/h - 56 km/h above the limit.
The 30-year-old driver was charged with stunt driving for the excessive speed, speeding 50+ km/h over the posted limit, and failing to provide an insurance card.
"This kind of excessive speeding is extremely dangerous and puts everyone on the road at risk," OPP stated. "Please remember to slow down and drive responsibly — your safety, and the safety of others, depends on it."
In Ontario, motorists caught speeding 40 km/h over the speed limit in zones below 80 km/h, or 50 km/h over the speed limit in zones of 80 km/h or more are hit with an automatic stunt driving charge.
Stunt driving carries an immediate 30-day licence suspension and 14-day roadside vehicle impoundment. Stunt driving charges could also result in a criminal record.

3-year-old drowns at Long Sault, Ont. beach: OPP
An Ontario Provincial Police crest is pictured on an officer's uniform. (Supplied) Police say a three-year-old child died after drowning at an eastern Ontario beach Saturday afternoon. Ontario Provincial Police say emergency services responded to Mille Roches Beach in Long Sault, Ont. at approximately 5:45 p.m. A caller told police that a child had no vital signs and that off-duty medical professionals were conducting resuscitation efforts. Cornwall paramedics rushed the child to hospital under a police escort as efforts to revive the child continued, OPP said in a news release Sunday. The child was later pronounced dead, police say. Their identity is not being released. The St. Lawrence Parks Commission website says Mille Roches Beach remains closed until further notice. Woodlands Beach remains open. It's the latest in a string of deadly incidents on eastern Ontario waters this summer. On Thursday, a three-year-old child drowned at Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County. Last weekend, OPP reported two incidents on East Lake in Prince Edward County and one on the St. Lawrence River near Ganonoque. OPP reported earlier this week that it had already responded to double the number of drowning deaths it saw at this time last year in eastern Ontario. There have been two reported drownings in Ottawa so far this summer.
