A collision involving two vehicles and a pedestrian on Saturday afternoon has left five people with injuries ranging from minor to serious, police in Chatham-Kent said.
According to the Chatham-Kent Police Service, at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, emergency crews responded to a serious collision involving two vehicles and a pedestrian on Grand Avenue West and Woods Street in Chatham.
Police said the driver of a red pickup truck was proceeding eastbound on Grand Avenue West when the driver drove over the curb and onto the sidewalk on the south side of the roadway.
