Police: Dangerous driver stopped safely on Highway 401

Police say dangerous driving has resulted in a 42-year-old Quebec resident facing six charges.

Leeds County OPP says Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry OPP asked for their help just after 7 p.m. Wednesday when a blue sedan failed to stop for officers.

The vehicle was stopped by officers on Highway 401 but not before police say its driver attempted to evade them and drove into two of their vehicles.

There were no injuries to the driver, the public or to officers.

Police say they seized almost 10 grams of suspected meth as part of the investigation.

The suspect was charged with offences including flight from peace officer, dangerous operation, operation while impaired and possession of a schedule I substance.
