A man from Mandurah in Western Australia has been charged with
deliberately running over a speed camera after it allegedly clocked him
driving at almost twice the legal speed limit.
Police allege the man was behind the wheel of a utility caught
traveling at 157 kilometers per hour in an 80km/h zone on Mandurah Road
in Madora Bay on Thursday night.
"A few minutes later the vehicle returned and intentionally drove over the speed detection camera, smashing it," Western Australia Police said. Police said damage to the speed camera was estimated at $97,000.
The man, 29, has been charged with criminal damage and reckless driving. He is due to appear in the Mandurah Magistrates Court later this month. The man's vehicle was impounded by police for 28 days.
