Say hello to...

A future Darwin Award contender...

An 18-year-old driving his parents’ new car on the highway near Windsor today tried to race an unmarked police car this morning, reaching 160 km/h before he was arrested.

Sgt. Cam Woolley of the OPP said the detachment commander with Chatham-Kent OPP was driving toward Windsor in an unmarked Chevrolet Impala with tinted windows when a young man pulled up alongside him in a Chrysler 300.

The driver tried repeatedly to get the uniformed officer to race, not allowing him to pass and travelling at higher and higher speeds. Woolley said, “He was playing tough guy until he got stopped."

"Then he cried until his parents got there.”

The officer’s unmarked Chevrolet Impala does not look like a police car and is used to hunt for aggressive drivers.
