"A southbound commercial motor vehicle approached the officer's location, travelling in excess of 100 kilometres per hour in a posted 60 km/h zone," police said in a news release Monday.
The 24-year-old driver from the Town of Caledon was charged with stunt driving. The vehicle was impounded for 14 days and the person's driver's licence has been suspended for 30 days.
