An octogenarian Toronto resident has been charged with stunt driving, after he was allegedly caught driving more than 50 km/h over the posted speed limit in cottage country this past weekend.

The Ontario Provincial Police say that a silver Cadillac was clocked going 135 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Highway 35 in the Township of Minden Hills.

Police say the man's vehicle has been impounded for a week and his driver's licence has been suspended for the same period of time.

The 84-year-old accused is due to appear in a Minden, Ont., provincial offences court in October.
