20-year-old driver caught doing ridiculous speed, on top of his failed switcharoo attempt

ABBOTSFORD – A 20-year-old driver in Abbotsford could have his license permanently suspended after he was caught at three times the speed limit Saturday night in Abbotsford with alcohol in his system, all while trying a switcharoo that epically failed.

According to the Abbotsford Police Department, plainclothes patrol officers observed two vehicles street racing along Sumas Way and South Fraser Way on Saturday night at approximately 10:30 p.m. Police say speeds reached a shocking 150 km/h in a posted 50 zone.

On April 25 at approximately 10:30 p.m., plainclothes AbbyPD patrol officers observed two vehicles street racing along Sumas Way and South Fraser Way. Speeds reached a staggering 150 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone. When officers stopped one of the vehicles, a black Kia, police allege the driver attempted to move into the back seat in an apparent effort to avoid responsibility.

Officers saw the whole switcharoo happen. Once they approached his vehicle, they observed that his legs were still stretched across the centre console.
