Members of the West Parry Sound Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) laid two stunt driving charges within minutes of each other after stopping vehicles travelling at excessive speeds on Highway 69.
On Sunday, January 25, 2026, at approximately 2:10 p.m., West Parry Sound OPP conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle travelling 151 kilometres per hour (km/h) in a posted 110 km/h zone on Highway 69 near Henvey Inlet. The vehicle was also determined to be uninsured.
As a result of the investigation, a 20-year-old person from Sudbury was charged with:
- Drive motor vehicle – perform stunt – excessive speed
- Obstruct plate
- Drive motor vehicle, no currently validated permit
The passenger and owner of the vehicle was also charged with:
- Permit motor vehicle to be operated without insurance
Minutes later, officers stopped another vehicle travelling 168 km/h in the same posted 110 km/h zone on Highway 69 near Henvey Inlet after it passed the initial traffic stop and came into close proximity to an officer outside of the stopped vehicle.
As a result of the investigation, a 19-year-old person from Sudbury was charged with:
- Drive motor vehicle – perform stunt – excessive speed
- Careless driving
- Fail to slow down or move over for an emergency vehicle
Both drivers were issued 30-day driver’s licence suspensions, and both vehicles were impounded for 14 days. All accused were issued Provincial Offence Summons and are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Parry Sound on March 17, 2026.
OPP remind motorists that excessive speed significantly increases the risk of serious collisions and that drivers must slow down and move over, where safe to do so, when approaching stopped emergency vehicles.
