Data from the dashcam showed the vehicle capturing the video was driving around 120 kilometres per hour.

Kunal Anand, 20, was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in April and pleaded not guilty.

He had been set to start trial Thursday in Red Deer, but instead, the charge was withdrawn.

The Crown prosecutor’s office said after speaking to witnesses, there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction as no one would be able to positively identify who was driving the car.
