He sped onto the eastbound Metropolitan Autoroute, eventually taking the Iberville Ave. exit and then screeching to a stop on 9th Ave., hitting a car in the process.

He attempted to flee on foot, but officers quickly caught up to him, the SQ said.

The driver is expected to face a series of charges including dangerous driving, fleeing from a police officer and possession of property obtained by crime.

In addition, he faces a $1,330 fine with 14 demerit points for excessive speeding. He was allegedly driving at twice the speed limit — 136 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. His licence was suspended for seven days.
