A Hamilton man is facing charges after someone tried to outrun the police on the 401 April 4.

Police say an officer tried to pull over a speeding Acura that was eastbound on the 401 near Victoria Road shortly after 9 a.m.

The driver didn’t stop, opting to flee instead, stomping on the gas to reach speeds of about 200 km/h, while driving erratically, police say.

The vehicle did eventually come to a stop on its own near Orford Road.

A 32-year-old Hamilton man faces charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight while pursued by a peace officer, and racing a motor vehicle.
