A 21-year-old Calgary man apparently felt the need for speed as he clocked more than 200 km/h while racing down Hwy 2 near Innisfail early Sunday morning.

Innisfail RCMP say they spotted two drivers side by side allegedly racing southbound on Hwy 2, just north of Innisfail, in speeds of excess of 180 km/h, around midnight.

An Alberta sheriff ultimately clocked the pair driving at 214 km/h.

Police activated their emergency equipment to stop one of the drivers.

The other driver sped away.

The Calgary man now faces charges of dangerous driving and will appear in court later this month. The man’s vehicle was seized.

Police continue to look for the other vehicle. No names were released.
