Hamilton Police clock driver going more than 60km/h over posted limit on Red Hill
Published January 4, 2021 at 8:09 am
Hamilton Police have charged a driver with several offences after clocking their SUV travelling 63 km/h over the speed limit on the Red Hill Valley Parkway (RHVP) recently.
In a Tweet sent Monday (Jan. 4) morning, police are warning drivers to slow down after one of their officers conducted a traffic stop when they recorded a car driving 143 km/h on the 80 km/h highway.
The driver had their licence and car seized for a week as a result, and they have been charged with speeding and stunt driving as well as failure to have insurance.
The warning comes after a 25-year-old Hamilton woman was killed over the weekend on the RHVP in a single-vehicle collision.
Police are still in the process of investigating the collision where the woman’s car left the roadway and drove approximately 100 m before crashing into a train bridge abutment.
Detectives say they have not ruled out any contributing factors as of yet and they are urging witnesses who have not yet spoken to them to call the Collision Reconstruction Unit at 905-546-4753.
