The Killaloe OPP has charged a driver with stunt driving.
On November 18, 2022, just before 12 p.m., Killaloe OPP conducted a traffic stop on a sport utility vehicle on 60 Highway, in the Township of North Algona Wilberforce. The 30-year-old driver from Gatineau was found to be travelling at 118 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone.
As a result of police investigation, the driver was charged with operating a motor vehicle while performing a stunt – speeding contrary to the Highway Traffic Act.
