Two drivers are facing charges after allegedly reaching 209 km/h on a Quebec highway.

The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, when officers from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ)’s Laval highway station spotted the vehicles speeding on Highway 15 north in Laval.

The SQ said both drivers, who are under the age of 25, had their vehicles seized and their driver’s licences suspended for seven days.

They received multiple tickets that amounted to $3,552 and a loss of 36 demerit points each.

The SQ warns motorists that speeding remains a leading cause of fatal collisions in the province.
