Chatham-Kent OPP have laid charges in connection to two separate crashes on the 401 earlier this week.
Just after 11 o’clock Tuesday morning, a transport lost control in the construction zone near Victoria Road. The driver, who suffered minor injuries, is now facing careless driving charges.
Meantime about 15 minutes later, another transport rear-ended a car that was stopped in traffic caused by the first crash.
Authorities say the truck driver in that case didn’t hand over a permit and didn’t have the proper insurance.
He has also been slapped with a careless driving charge.
