GUELPH – Guelph police say an 18-year-old man has been charged with stunt driving for allegedly towing people on sleds after Thursday’s snowstorm. 

Police say they were called to a parking lot near York Road and Watson Parkway just after midnight on Friday.

They allege the car was spinning in circles while two people on sleds were being dragged with ropes, and a male was also riding in the car’s open trunk.
