For you guys all in the imperial system, about 191 miles an hour.
At 19, why is his name not released? I always assume it's some lawyers or doctors son, once in awhile a politicians. Lives were in danger if anyone was unfortunate enough to be stuck behind him on the road, no way you can react fact enough if a tricky situation occurs.
A 19-year-old man has been charged with street racing after the Mercedes he was driving was clocked doing 308 km/h on an Ontario highway.
"This is the fastest speed that I've ever heard of," said Sgt. Kerry Schmidt in a video posted to Twitter.
The veteran Ontario Provincial Police officer said he was "pretty much speechless" when he heard how fast the car was going before police managed to pull it over on the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) in Burlington, Ont., around 10 p.m. Saturday.
"This could have turned into the most devastating, fatal crash ever."
The 19-year-old was driving his parents' car and had another 19-year-old man riding in the passenger seat, according to Schmidt.
The teen's licence was suspended, the car impounded for seven days and he was also charged with stunt and dangerous driving.
