Police have released a video that shows a driver travelling at a high rate of speed on the shoulder of Highway 401, south of London, Ont.
In the 26-second clip, which the OPP West Region posted on social media late Tuesday afternoon, a motorist operating a dark-coloured sedan is seen speeding on the right shoulder of the highway.
Several vehicles were on the 401 at that time.
“Oh my god. That dude’s driving on the shoulder. He just did like a buck-forty down the shoulder … by everybody,” says a woman inside the vehicle that caught the act on dashcam.
There is no question why #ElginOPP received multiple traffic complaints about this vehicle driving on #HWY401. The vehicle was stopped and a 20y/o of Petrolia was charged w/ several HTA offences.
