Police investigate fatal four-vehicle collision in Chatham
Two people have died and others were injured following a four-vehicle crash in Chatham, Ont. Friday evening.
Officers responded to the fatal collision around 7 p.m. on Queen’s Line at Dillon Road.
Police say early investigation reveals a 27-year-old Windsor man was driving eastbound on Queen’s Line when he collided with a pickup truck travelling westbound on the same road.
