A 22-year-old man is facing a stunt driving charge after police say he was caught travelling 139 kilometres per hour in an 80 km/h zone on Line 86.

Waterloo Regional Police said the driver was stopped for speeding and charged after allegedly travelling nearly 60 kilometres per hour over the posted speed limit.

“Speeding and aggressive driving remain the most dangerous behaviours on local roads and contributed to several fatal collisions last year. Rural roads are not racetracks,” a social media post read in part.
