A 21-year-old man has been sentenced after a dangerous high-speed police chase in the Huntsville area.
Aidan Sullivan pleaded guilty in a Bracebridge court to failing to stop for police, dangerous driving, and driving while prohibited.
Court heard that on May 27, 2025, at approximately 6:49 p.m., officers with the Ontario Provincial Police attempted to stop a vehicle in Huntsville because it had no licence plates. The driver failed to stop, sparking a pursuit.
Speeds during the chase reached between 123 km/h and 129 km/h on Old Muskoka Road, where the posted speed limit is 60 km/h—more than double the legal limit. Due to safety concerns, officers were forced to terminate the pursuit.
Shortly afterward, police received a complaint that a vehicle had driven onto a snowmobile trail, and the driver fled on foot. The vehicle was found in poor condition, with no tread on the tires, a broken windshield, and mismatched doors.
Sullivan was later located and arrested. Court heard he was a prohibited driver and was operating the vehicle without insurance or licence plates. He also has a prior criminal record, including impaired driving.
He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, a two-year driving prohibition, and 12 months of probation.
