A 17-year-old driver from Carberry received a $927 ticket after Brandon RCMP caught him going 167 km/h on the Trans-Canada Highway.

On Tuesday, October 20, police radar caught the vehicle going well over the posted 100 km/h speed limit.

When police activated their emergency lights to make the stop, the speeding vehicle lost control, going into the ditch and landing on top of a utility box.

The young driver and two passengers exited the vehicle, all managing to avoid serious injury.

The 17-year-old was issued a ticket and Serious Offence Notice, which suspends his license until he meets with MPI — so his mother had to pick him up from the scene.
