Two Brampton men are facing driving-related charges following separate incidents on rural roads in Ontario, including one driver accused of stunt driving after allegedly travelling nearly twice the posted speed limit.<\/p>\n
In the first incident, a 23-year-old was stopped by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on Colborne Street West at Lois Crescent in the County of Brant, 100 km southwest of Brampton on Sunday, Oct. 25.<\/p>\n
An officer conducting speed enforcement around 1:30 p.m. spotted a vehicle travelling at approximately 110 km\/h in a posted 60 km\/h zone.<\/p>\n
The driver was subsequently charged with stunt driving for excessive speed, speeding between 1 and 49 km\/h over the limit, and failing to surrender a driver\u2019s licence.<\/p>\n
His licence was suspended for 30 days, and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days under Ontario\u2019s stunt-driving legislation.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident several days later, another man was charged following a collision involving a commercial motor vehicle in Middlesex County.<\/p>\n
OPP officers responded to Melbourne Road, north of Murphy Drive in the Township of Adelaide Metcalfe, 180 km west of Brampton, shortly after noon on Thursday, Oct. 29.<\/p>\n
Police say the commercial vehicle had entered a ditch. The 43-year-old Brampton driver was taken to a local hospital by ambulance.<\/p>\n
Following an investigation, the driver was charged with careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act.<\/p>\n
Strathroy Fire Services also attended the collision scene to assist.<\/p>\n
Neither of the men has been publicly identified by police.<\/p>\n
The incidents serve as another reminder that dangerous driving can have serious consequences, particularly on rural roads where posted speed limits and road conditions can vary considerably.<\/p>\n
