A 20-year-old man charged with stunt driving in Mississauga turns out to already be facing trial related to allegations of dangerous driving after a fatal crash in 2024.
According to a media release, Peel Regional Police recently charged Mitchel Hunter, from Woodstock, with stunt driving, speeding, failure to surrender a driver’s licence and driving a motor vehicle contrary to emissions regulations. The media release says Hunter was driving at a speed of 102 kilometres per hour in a 60 kilometre per hour zone around 1 a.m. last month.
