A 21-year-old High River man will apppear in Cochrane court in August after being clocked doing 199 km/hr in a 110 zone Monday afternoon.

A member of the Cochrane RCMP Integrated Traffic Services Unit was conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 1 and shortly after 1:30 p.m., two cars were seen travelling eastbound at a high rate of speed between Cochrane and Canmore.

The RCMP officer was able to get both vehicles safely stopped.

Both drivers, a 24-year-old man from Calgary and the 21-year-old from High River, were charged with speeding and were issued a summons to attend Cochrane Provincial Court on August 21, 2020.

Superintendent Gary Graham, who is in charge of Alberta RCMP Traffic Services, states, "Even with COVID-19, Alberta Integrated Traffic officers continue to be on the look-out for unsafe driving behaviours. We are committed to keeping Albertans safe during this pandemic and that includes on our highways".
