A Kelowna man is facing a criminal charge of dangerous driving, after an RCMP officer recorded a Porsche travelling at 270 kilometres per hour on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary.

Mounties say the car was going nearly two-and-a-half times the posted speed limit on the night of Sept. 15 during regular traffic enforcement.

The speed limit on that stretch of highway is 110 kilometres per hour.

A 36-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving and is scheduled to appear in Cochrane provincial court on Dec. 13.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 17, 2022.
