ST ARNAUD police have caught two drivers speeding more than 50 kilometres an hour over the limit, on the same road. Sergeant Bill Alford said the drivers were detected in separate incidents on Banyena Road on Monday. Police detected a man, 27, driving 152km/h in a 100km/h zone on Banyena Road, at Traynors Lagoon about 7.30pm. He had a baby, 18-months, in the backseat. "The man will appear at court at a later date. Police decided to take court action due to the child being in the car at the time of the incident," Sergeant Alford said. In a separate incident, police caught a South Australian resident, 32, driving 151km/h on the same road. Sergeant Alford said the person was issued a penalty notice of $830 and had their licence suspended on the spot for a period of 12 months.
