An eastern Ontario driver is facing charges after being caught going 91 km/h over the speed limit on Highway 401 Sunday morning, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

Police say the driver was stopped around 4 a.m. after clocking 191 km/h near Blue Church in Augusta Township.

The driver is facing stunt driving charges, driver's licence suspension, vehicle impoundment and a court date.

"Speeding itself is already a dangerous move. Add in the reduced visibility of nighttime driving and the fog that began rolling in, and you have recipe for disaster," the OPP said in a post on X Sunday.
