A parking lot collision in Chatham sent two people to hospital.

Shortly after 4 Tuesday afternoon, police say a vehicle was pulling out of a parking lot on St Clair Street when the driver struck two other vehicles and a hydro pole.

Two people suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.

The 65-year-old driver was arrested and taken to police headquarters for breath tests. The man is now charged with having a blood alcohol level over the legal limit, and will have to answer to a judge in court later this month.
