A driver reportedly racing through Puslinch Township is facing extra charges after Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says an infant and child in the car were not buckled in properly.

Sunday evening around 5:15 p.m., OPP officers stopped a car that was speeding on Concession 1 in Puslinch Township.

The stop not only led to stunt driving charges for a 28-year-old from Milton but also failure to properly secure an infant and child.

With any stunt driving charge, the vehicle is impounded for 14-days and the driver’s licence is suspended for 30-days.
