He was arrested and charged with stunt driving, speeding and several other Highway Traffic Act violations.
On Tuesday, shortly before 10 p.m. police stopped a 20-year-old Cayuga man allegedly travelling 117 km/h in the same area. At this time construction workers were present.
Police said they also found an open container of alcohol and other alcohol containers in the car.
He’s charged with stunt driving, speeding and driving with an open container of alcohol in a vehicle.
Both men will appear in court April 26.
These two arrests are in addition to an alleged drunk driver caught going 120 km/h in the same area around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
A 38-year-old Glanbrook man is charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mg and stunt driving. He’s scheduled to appear in court April 19.
In addition to whatever penalties the accused men may face in court, all of the drivers were issued an immediate roadside drivers licence suspension and their vehicles were impounded each for seven days.
