Saskatoon police say they arrested a 31-year-old man for impaired driving and handed him a speeding ticket for more than $1,000 after exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 kilometres per hour.
Just after midnight Thursday patrol officers observed a black Jeep travelling at a high rate of speed southbound on Idylwyld Drive approaching 20th Street West, according to a news release.
They also observed the vehicle disobey a red light. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop the motorist accelerated as it continued southbound over the Sid Buckwold Bridge.
Shortly after passing the 8th Street exit, the vehicle came to a stop and the driver was arrested.
