Excessive speed resulted in several charges

In January 2018, members of the Hawkesbury detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a traffic complaint of a motor vehicle travelling at an excessively high rate of speed.

The vehicle, a black 2017 Hyundai Accent, was located and intercepted by Constable Dominique Sauve on Highway 417 in the Township of East Hawkesbury.

Interaction with the male driver gave the officer reason to believe that the driver had operated his motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. The driver was issued a three-day suspension for having a Blood Alcohol Concentration between 0.05 and 0.08.

Investigation revealed that he was driving without a valid driver’s licence and was in violation of his conditions.
