A Barrie resident has been charged with stunt driving after provincial police say their vehicle was clocked at 154 kilometres per hour in an 80-km/h zone this morning in New Tecumseth.

Nottawasaga OPP says an officer, who was conducting speed enforcement in the Alliston area, stopped the vehicle on Highway 89 shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 21. 

Rajveer Singh, 20, of Barrie, has been charged with stunt driving/excessive speed and speeding 50-plus kilometres per hour over the limit
