Reckless Driver Nabbed in Calgary Speed Crackdown

0:00Calgary cops pulled over a new driver this week, blasting down Crouchow Trail at 136 km per hour in an 80 km per hour zone. That's more than 50 km per hour over the limit, right in northwest Calgary near Sarcy Trail. The driver just got her license six months ago, with three passengers riding along. She called it her first ticket ever, but police hit her with a mandatory court summons because of the extreme speed. This bus hits amid the city's drive to zero campaign, kicked off last September, after an 11-year high in pedestrian deaths. Folks are reeling from those tragedies, pushing for safer streets all around. The push targets high-risk moves, like crazy speeding, to enforcement, education, and big picture planning to wipe out serious crashes. Police stress these wild speeds, keep blocking the road to zero major injuries, so expect more crackdowns as the city doubles down on keeping everyone alive out there.
