Chatham-Kent OPP have laid charges after a crash on Highway 401.
Around 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Provincial Police responded to a commercial motor vehicle collision on the 401 near Drake Side Road.
An investigation revealed a westbound tractor trailer had lost control, hit a road sign and came to rest in the north ditch.
The driver was not injured.
As a result, the man driving the truck -- a 37-year-old man from LaSalle, Quebec -- has been charged with careless driving contrary to the Highway Traffic Act.
Highway 401 between Bloomfield Road and Queens Line was closed for one hour to allow for the vehicle to be removed from the ditch.
