Charges have been laid following a collision that shut down a section of the 401 through Chatham-Kent.

Emergency crews were called to the eastbound lanes near Drake Road shortly before 8:30 Sunday morning after a transport crashed and rolled over in the centre median.

The eastbound lanes were closed for several hours as the OPP conducted an investigation and the vehicle was towed from the scene.

The 24-year-old Brampton driver was not seriously hurt in the collision and has since been charged with careless driving.
