CHATHAM, Ont. -- A 29-year-old Windsor man faces an array of charges including dangerous driving after he allegedly drove a white Cadillac at a speed of 205 km/h on Highway 401 Sunday.

Chatham-Kent OPP said they were called about a vehicle speeding in the 401’s eastbound lanes around 7 a.m. Police said the Cadillac’s movements were described as “erratic” and “dangerous.”

A short while later, police learned of a single vehicle crash involving the Cadillac near Merlin Town Line east of Tilbury.

Officers found the car in a ditch on the north side highway. Investigators determined that the vehicle went out of control and crossed the median, entering the westbound lanes before ending up in the ditch.

The driver was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.

Police later learned the vehicle had no insurance, and that the driver had been previously stopped for speeding on the 401 in March of this year. His recorded speed in that incident was also 205 km/h.

Dusan Arlov of Windsor was taken into custody by Chatham-Kent OPP. Police said he was awaiting a court appearance on Monday.

Arlov has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, street racing, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, using a false or invalid insurance card, making a false statement to police, and failing to properly wear a seat belt while driving.

It should be noted that hours before I posted this there were many, many searches for Dusan Arlov from the USA and Canada... news does travel very quickly in these circles apparently.
