Sarnia police arrested a driver who exceeded twice the speed limit on Wednesday morning. Just before 10 a.m., an officer conducting a radar in the area of Vidal Street and St. Clair spotted a vehicle traveling at 102 kilometers per hour in a suspended zone 50. The policeman tried to stop the vehicle, which allegedly continued at high speed and ran a stop sign. Police said the driver then lost control and crashed into a curb, damaging the vehicle and causing it to malfunction. A 25-year-old man from the Court was arrested and charged with fleeing from the police, dangerous driving, suspended driving and racing with a motor vehicle. The vehicle was confiscated for 14 days.
