Provincial Police have arrested a North York woman following a traffic stop on the westbound 401 near Chatham-Kent.

Shortly before 11:30 the night of April 7th, an officer clocked a vehicle travelling 151 kilometres an hour on the highway near Dutton.

The woman was issued a 90 day license suspension and had her vehicle impounded for 14 days.
