Charges have been laid following a collision in Chatham over the weekend. 
Late Saturday afternoon, emergency crews were called to a single-vehicle accident at the corner of St Clair Road and Pioneer Line.
Authorities say the driver, a 25-year-old-man, lost control of his vehicle and struck a light pole.
The accused was taken to police headquarters for breath tests and charged with careless driving, and given a three-day license suspension for driving under the influence.
