An off-duty Ottawa police officer has been charged with stunt driving after police say his motorcycle was clocked at 202 km/h on Highway 174.

Ottawa Police chief Charles Bordeleau has initiated a "chief's complaint" into the incident, which will be investigated by the Professional Standard Section.

Yannick Bernard's vehicle was impounded and his license suspended for seven days, and he has been assigned to administrative duties, police said in a statement.

Police did not release when or where on the highway the incident took place.
