Brant Country OPP conducting a RIDE check Friday used satellite tracking technology to find a driver who fled the scene and charge him with drunk driving.

The OPP said they stopped a 2014 Honda Civic at about 3:20 a.m. at their RIDE check on Cockshutt and Oxbow Roads in Brant County and determined the driver had been drinking alcohol. The male driver then failed a road side screening test.

But the man then fled the scene.

Police used satellite technology apprehension response (STAR) to attach a tag on the fleeing car.

Police say the driver travelled speeds of about 155 kph on Hwy 403, the QEW and the 407, before police were able to stop the car on the 407 in Burlington.

A 34-year-old Brantford man is charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, failing to provide a breath sample, and four counts of mischief endangering life.

Anyone with further information is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or crimestoppers-brant.ca
