OPP catch disqualified Windsor driver speeding on Highway 401

The Ontario Provincial Police in Chatham-Kent has pulled a driver with an alleged lead foot off the road, again.

Officers were looking for speeders on Highway 401 near Harwich Road early Friday morning when they clocked a vehicle going over 130 kilometres per hour in the westbound lanes.

The vehicle was pulled over, and while talking with the driver, the officer found out she was disqualified from driving.

Now, 27-year-old Christina Martinez of Windsor faces two charges of driving while disqualified, and speeding.

She'll be in court on December 12.
