On March 18, 2026, at approximately 6:30 am, members of the Wellington County OPP Traffic Management Unit (TMU) were performing a proactive traffic enforcement initiative and observed a motor vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed, nearly double the posted speed limit, to which a traffic stop was initiated on Highway 6, within Wellington North Township.

- Race a motor vehicle
- Speeding 50+ km/h over posted limit
Anyone charged with ‘race a motor vehicle’ receives a 14-day vehicle impoundment and a 30 day driver’s licence suspension as per statute.
The accused is scheduled to appear in the Provincial Offences Court - Guelph, at a later date.
