A man from Woodstock Ont. who is awaiting trial for a fatal Brampton crash is facing new stunt driving charges after he recently got caught speeding in Mississauga.
In a news release, Peel Regional Police say they spotted a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Argentia Road at about 1 a.m. on May 23.
Police say a traffic stop was conducted and charged 20-year-old Mitchel Hunter with:
- Stunt driving
- Speeding – 102 km/h in a posted 60 km/h zone
- Fail to surrender driver’s licence
- Drive motor vehicle contrary to emissions regulations
Police say Hunter also received an immediate 30-day driver’s licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment.
The new charges come while Hunter is already awaiting trial on criminal charges stemming from a fatal collision in Brampton in November 2024.
In that instance, police previously charged him with:
- Dangerous driving causing death
- Dangerous driving causing bodily harm (two counts)
None of the allegations have been tested in court.
