Single Vehicle Collision Sends Eight to Hospital

Eight people were taken to hospital following a single vehicle collision east of Chatham.

All eight occupants were taken to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance. Four victims were later air-lifted to receive further treatment at London Victoria Hospital and Windsor Reginal with serious injuries.

The Traffic Management Unit continues to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to contact Constable Josh Flikweert at [email protected] or 519-355-1092.
