A 23-year-old man was arrested after Quebec provincial police say he reached 217 kilometres per hour in a 70 km/h zone and fled from officers in the Montreal area early Saturday morning.

Police say they spotted a vehicle without licence plates on Highway 15 in Montreal around 2:30 a.m.

Police say the suspect was eventually located in a parking lot in Kahnawake with assistance from local Peacekeepers.

Police say the suspect tried to flee before colliding with a police vehicle.

He was arrested and could face several charges, including fleeing police and assault with a weapon.

His vehicle was impounded for 30 days and his driver’s licence was suspended for seven days.
