SOUTH WEST OXFORD - A 29 year old driver from Toronto will be walking for a bit after he was charged with stunt driving on the 401 in Oxford County. 

Police say they clocked the man doing 160 km/h on the highway on Wednesday just after midnight. The driver had his vehicle towed from the scene and his licence was suspended for 7 days. 

Oxford County OPP Detachment Commander Tony Hymers says speed remains the main cause of fatal car accidents on roads patrolled by the OPP.

"Speeding and other forms of aggressive driving are dangerous behaviours and remain a leading cause of fatal motor vehicle collisions on OPP-patrolled roads."
