Just before 10 o’clock Wednesday morning, a vehicle was heading east on Margaret Avenue when it veered into oncoming traffic and collided with a tow truck at the intersection with Murray Street.

A 73-year-old Walpole Island man was taken to the Wallaceburg site of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, where first responders and medical personal attempted life-saving measures, however the man was later pronounced dead.

Chatham-Kent Police will not be releasing the victim’s name out of respect for the man’s family.
