A driver from Alberta is facing a stunt driving charge after being stopped by police near Nipigon.
The Ontario Provincial Police say an officer with the Nipigon detachment was conducting speed enforcement using a LiDAR device around 5:07 p.m. on March 8 when a 2015 BMW was clocked travelling 141 kilometres per hour in a 90 zone.
Police conducted a traffic stop and charged a 20-year-old from Calgary with stunt driving for excessive speed.
As part of the charge, the driver received a 30-day administrative licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
The accused is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date.
Police say they continue to target aggressive driving through enforcement and encourage the public to call 9-1-1 if they see dangerous driving on area roads.
