Ontario Provincial Police are investigating after a speeding driver lost control of their vehicle and ended up in a ditch in Renfrew County.

Police say an officer clocked the driver travelling 124 km/h in an 80 km/h zone “just moments before they lost control and rolled their vehicle.”

A photo posted on social media showed the vehicle on its roof.

“Fleeing from police cost this driver their vehicle and landed them a court date,” police said. “Thankfully, the driver walked away with minimal injuries.”

CTV News Ottawa has reached out to the OPP for more information on where in Renfrew County the incident occurred and the charges the driver is facing.
