A Montreal man is facing stunt driving charges after allegedly driving more than double the speed limit and nearly striking a police cruiser in a friend’s luxury sports car.
Lennox and Addington OPP say a police cruiser was almost rear-ended by a Lamborghini on Aug. 16 just before 1 a.m. on Highway 401.
Police say the sports car was going 204 kilometres per hour when it overtook the police cruiser near Highway 62.

In a tweet sent out from an OPP Twitter account, police said the driver had borrowed the vehicle from a friend.
