A dozen people were busted for impaired driving on Toronto streets over the weekend including one extreme speeder on the Don Valley Parkway.
Detective Const. Scott Matthews with Toronto police traffic services says the driver blew one-and-a-half times the legal limit.
“The driver was driving 210 km/h and this is a 90 km/h zone. This is the fastest speed in recent memory that I’ve encountered,” said Matthews.
“He was stopped and administered roadside test where he failed. He was brought back to the station for further breath samples. Where he blew one a half times the legal limit.”
