While police officers of the MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais were checking for speeding drivers, they detected a vehicle traveling at 160 km/hr in a 90 km/hr zone on March 10 at approximately 5:45 a.m., on Highway 148 in the Luskville region.
Disregarding multiple warnings such as flashing lights and the . . .
siren, the driver refused to stop and continued driving westbound, according to a police press release. Due to the dangers of the situation, police did not attempt to chase the vehicle and instead notified the police from the Sûreté du Québec in Campbell’s Bay.
A few minutes later, a 22-year-old man from Gatineau was arrested in the municipality of Bristol. The man was arrested for dangerous driving and flight under the Criminal Code, according to the press release. It also stated that the man will receive several tickets under the Highway Safety Code for a total of $6,390 and 41 demerit points.
It was confirmed by police that the vehicle that did not belong to him was also seized and his driver’s license suspended.
He will be appearing in court at a later date.
