STUNT DRIVING CHARGE
A 28-year-old man was charged with stunt driving after Ontario Provincial Police say he was clocked driving at 208 km/h on Hwy. 407.
The driver was stopped by Aurora OPP in the Hwy. 407-Bayview Ave. area during the Canada Day long weekend.

HELP SOUGHT IN DANGEROUS DRIVING CASE
Peel Regional Police are seeking the public’s help in a dangerous driving investigation.
Cops say on Tuesday, around 3:20 p.m., police attempted to stop an off-road motorcycle-style bike that was driving erratically – performing wheelies and other dangerous manoeuvres – on the roadway near Eglington Ave. and Erin Mills Parkway.
Police say while trying to avoid them, the motorcycle even made contact with a fully marked police cruiser.
Cops say a uniformed officer attempting to arrest the driver was struck and injured by the vehicle as it fled at a high rate of speed, accelerating recklessly through the crowded roadway.
Police say the officer went to a local hospital to treat a serious, but non-life-threatening injury.
Investigators are requesting the public’s help in identifying the rider of the motorcycle, who is described as a young male between the ages of 15 and 20, wearing a black helmet, and wearing a black sweater and pants.
The motorcycle is believed to be electric-powered and dark coloured.
