A man awaiting trial in connection with a deadly 2024 crash in Mississauga has again been arrested for stunt driving, Peel Police say.
Police allege that in the early hours of May 23, a Woodstock man was driving near Winston Churchill Blvd. and Argentia Rd., posting 102 km/h in a 60 km zone. He was stopped and arrested without incident.
Mitchel Hunter, 20, faces charges of stunt driving, speeding, failure to surrender driver’s licence and drive motor vehicle contrary to emissions regulations. His licence was suspended for 30 days and his vehicle has been impounded.
Previous deadly incident
Hunter is already awaiting trial in connection with a deadly crash in Brampton in November 2024 that killed a man and left two other people injured. Police say he was leaving a street racing event at the time. He was charged with dangerous operation causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in that incident. None of the charges have been proven in court yet.
